Lavender Strawberry Cookies

Combine the fresh berries of spring with lavender and chocolate chips in this easy to make strawberry cookie recipe that everyone will love!

Strawberry lavender cookies are made with honey to avoid refined sugar and further increase all the floral and berry flavor in that natural wonderful combination.

These chocolate chip cookies combine fresh strawberries with simple ingredients for a strawberry season dessert that is easy to bake and feels good to serve.

A Natural Ingredient List

If you want to focus on simple and seasonal ingredients in easy recipes, you’ve come to the right place. Real strawberries combined with natural ingredients and herbs make for a unique flavor that is addicting from the first bite.

There’s no cake mix or other dubious ingredients and most everything needed is likely already in your pantry.

Making cookies like this is an easy way to embrace spring seasonal eating while celebrating the earth’s abundance and sharing the best cookies with loved ones.

Herbal Cookies

I made these into lavender cookies because the combination is quite lovely, and it does make for a unique cookie. However; you could skip the lavender and just have strawberry cookies if desired.

To get the most lavender flavor in the cookie, do these two things:

First, crush the lavender a little bit with a mortar and pestle or the back of a wooden spoon on a plate before proceeding with the recipe. This crushing releases oils and keeps the lavender bits smaller in the overall cookie.

Second, do cream butter and lavender together extremely well. This beating of lavender into the butter will help release all the flavorful floral oils.

Any Chocolate

Use any type of chocolate chip that you have on hand or favor. Semi-sweet is great but milk or white chocolate chips or even dark chocolate chunks will all work and be delicious.

I like the combination of chocolate and strawberries because it does feel like chocolate covered strawberries in a cookie form.

You could skip the chocolate chips, if desired. You’ll still have tasty, if different, cookies.

Other Berries

The original recipe was tested with juicy strawberries but it seems most any berry would work in an equal amount. Simply use whole small berries or chop large berries.

A mix of berries would also be delightful. This would be especially fun if you picked a variety on a summer berry picking adventure.

Optional Toppings

The cookies are quite lovely just as the recipe is written, however there are some options for dressing them up.

  • Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies
  • Frost with chocolate or even cream cheese frosting
  • Make smaller cookies and sandwich them around some vanilla or chocolate frosting.

How to Serve

The great thing about cookies is that they don’t need much. They’re great snacks or desserts simply in their handheld form.

Like any of my spring cookie recipes, keep it simple and serve them on a plate with milk or other favorite beverage.

These delicious cookies go great with ice cream, simply put a scoop in a bowl and tuck a cookie or two on top for a lovely treat.

Consider serving them in a bowl with whipped cream and some chopped strawberries for a different take on strawberry shortcake.

Do tuck one or two into lunch boxes for a sweet afternoon surprise.

How to Store

Because of the fresh fruit, these cookies should be eaten up within a couple of days at most. The extra moisture tends to make them softer over time. Honestly, they’re such a crowd pleaser they won’t likely last a long time anyway.

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the fridge to keep the fruit stay fresher, longer.

The great thing is that these are soft cookies that freeze delightfully well. With that in mind, consider making a double or even triple batch to have dessert easily on hand. Simply put the cooled cookies into airtight containers or a freezer bag and freeze.
