Ingredients
•
3 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
•
1/3 cup white sugar
•
2 tablespoons culinary-grade lavender
•
1 tablespoon baking powder
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
•
1 cup heavy cream
•
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon imitation vanilla flavoring
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Whisk flour, chocolate chips, sugar, lavender, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large glass mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal with some small chunks of butter in the mix.
3
Whisk cream, vanilla extract, and vanilla flavoring together in a small bowl. Add to the mixing bowl and use a spatula to blend into the flour mixture. Knead dough until completely combined.
4
Cut dough in half and form each piece into a disc. Place discs on the prepared baking sheet and cut each one into 8 wedges.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
