You’ll need

Ingredients

  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 60 grams melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 140 grams plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp bicarb soda
  • 1 tbsp lavender

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Kitchen scales
  • Baking tray
  • Baking paper
  • Cling film

I only have baking soda, can I use this instead?

Yes, you can easily use bicarb and baking soda interchangeably in baking, you just have to know your ratios. Baking soda is essentially diluted bicarb soda. Baking soda is usually made up of bicarb soda and cream of tartare. So when substituting bicarb for baking soda, the rule of thumb is to double the amount.

Use 1 tsp baking soda for this recipe

How to store

Make sure to let the cookies completely cool before storing them. Cookies can be stored on the counter for up to a week.

How long to bake

  • For a slightly underdone, super gooey cookie: 5 mins
  • For a classic, soft-centered, chewy edged cookie: 6-8 mins
  • For a chewy, crispy cookie: 8-10 mins

  • Avoid flat cookies by refrigerating your dough! You can prevent your cookies from flattening by putting the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. Refrigerating the dough prevents the dough from spreading by solidifying the butter, the butter then takes longer to melt while baking, diminishing the spread of the cookie.
    Letting the dough rest in the fridge also gives the lavender time to flavour the dough, giving you a richer lavender flavour. These cookies can be prepped, covered, and refrigerated up to a week in advance. I usually put the dough together and pop them in the fridge the night before I want to bake them.

  • Stack cookies tall when forming cookie balls. Try to stack cookie dough higher than they are wide, this makes for a thicker cookie as the dough requires more time to “fall” and “spread” before they are cooked.
