Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white chocolate chips
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons culinary-grade lavender
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon imitation vanilla flavoring

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
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.
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.
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.
