Earl Grey’s distinguishable profile lends itself to be used as flavorings in cakes, cookies, and chocolates. These cookies have become my go-to when I’m craving for something sweet and nibbling on them reminds me of my time in the UK. They’re very easy to make and requires just 5 ingredients. It’s very hard to mess up, and requires everything you may already have.
Makes half dozen cookies:
Ingredients
1/2 cup or 1 stick of unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup of confectioners sugar
pinch of salt
dash of vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of finely ground earl grey tea leaves
Instructions
- Combine butter, vanilla extract, and sugar into a mixing bowl until creamy.
- Then add in flour, tea leaves, and salt. Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there and combine until it starts to form a dough.
- Shape dough into a log and wrap it in saran wrap or parchment paper. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Take the dough out of the fridge and cut into 1/3 inch disks and lay them each 1” apart on a cookie sheet. Tip: I use a strand of thread to cut instead of a knife.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
