    The Best Gluten Free Lemon Lavender Cookies

    These lemon lavender cookies with white chocolate chunks will become your new favorite cookie combo!

    Jump to Recipe

    I have been wanting to make this recipe for some time now. It took me a few tries but I've now dialed it in. These lemon lavender cookies are perfectly crispy on the outer edges and chewy in the middle. For me, that's the ideal texture I look for in any cookie recipe...with the exception of shortbread cookies. Also, you can't beat this lemon lavender combo. I used lemon zest from one whole lemon but feel free to add more or less.

    White chocolate chips are cool and all but you can't beat the aesthetic of uneven chocolate chunks. The puddles of melted chocolate are my favorite!

    Helpful tips

    Let's talk about this cookie dough! It is a bit on the stickier side which is exactly why I recommend chilling it for at least four hours or overnight if possible. I also suggest baking one cookie sheet at a time. This allows for more even baking.

    When shopping for dried lavender, be sure that it's food grade.

    Storage

    Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container or ziploc bag. These cookies should last between 5 and 7 days. If you notice some of your cookies starting to dry out, you can add a piece of gluten free bread or tortilla to your container or bag. This trick will help restore any moisture that's been lost.

    If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and purchase some flaky salt. It not only looks pretty but it really adds the perfect finishing touch. I feel like almost all cookies benefit from a light sprinkle of flaky salt.

    I really hope you enjoy this recipe! What cookie combo should I make next?
