Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment

cream the butter until color is light and texture is fluffy.

Add one egg at a time beating well after each addition. Don’t forget to keep sides of the mixing bowl scraped to incorporate all dry and wet ingredients evenly.

Add half the flour mixture and beat on low .

Adding remaining flour mixture and mix until incorporated .

Stir in the chocolate chips and lavender by hand.

This is a very thick sticky dough – be strong !!
