Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Earl Grey tea leaves (finely ground)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Earl Grey Tea

    • Finely grind the Earl Grey tea leaves using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.

  2. Make the Dough

    • In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
    • Add the ground Earl Grey tea, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well.
    • Gradually add the flour, stirring until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

  3. Shape and Chill

    • Roll the dough into a log (about 2 inches in diameter) or flatten it for cut-out cookies.
    • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. Bake the Cookies

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Slice the chilled dough into ¼-inch rounds or cut out shapes.
    • Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges turn golden.

  5. Cool and Serve

    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
    • Enjoy as-is, or drizzle with a light glaze for extra sweetness!

Notes

  • For a stronger tea flavor, increase the amount of ground tea leaves.

  • A lemon glaze pairs beautifully with these cookies.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
