Blueberries and lavender are sure a match made in heaven. The cookies are soft and not dry at all, but rather a bit chewy. The flavors compliment each other, giving us a taste of summer. It's not summer here yet, but I found some blueberries at the store and I still have loads of lavender flowers to use, from the last season.
My cookies didn't come out as purple and vibrant, as those on famous TikTok videos. I wonder if I should use food coloring to get the same effect. Anyway, these cookies are delicious.
Ingredients:
- 95 g of margarine (room temperature)
- 70 g of sugar
- 100 g of blueberries
- 170 g of all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon of dried lavender flowers
- 80 g of dark chocolate
Preparation:
- Beat the margarine with an electric mixer. Add sugar and mix until creamy.
- Add blueberries and mix at slow speed for a few minutes.
- Sift flour and baking powder through the sieve into another bowl. Add sea salt and lavender flowers. Mix dry ingredients together.
- Add dry ingredients and form a dough with your hand or with an electric mixer.
- Cut the chocolate into small pieces and add them to the dough. Knead until well incorporated.
- Place the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Scoop the dough out of the bowl with a spoon. Place the scoops on a baking tray.
- Bake cookies for 10 minutes at 200°C.
After baking let them cool a bit on a tray, then transfer them on a cooling rack.
