Who’s ready to elevate their cookie game? These Earl Grey Cookies are buttery, crumbly, and kissed with the subtle, floral notes of bergamot. Perfect for tea time, snack time, or anytime you want to feel fancy without actually putting on pants. Let’s bake! 💁♀️
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 🧈
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar ☁️
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 2 tablespoons Earl Grey tea leaves (from about 2 tea bags) 🫖
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
DIRECTIONS
- Mix it up: Cream the butter and powdered sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract. 💕
- Add the tea vibes: Sift in the flour, salt, and those aromatic Earl Grey tea leaves. Mix until it forms a crumbly dough that holds together when pressed. 🫖
- Roll & chill: Shape the dough into a log (around 2 inches in diameter) and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. (Pro tip: The longer it chills, the better the flavor!) ❄️
- Slice & bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are just golden. ✨
- Cool & enjoy: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Pair them with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea for ultimate coziness. 🫖🍪
TIPS & EXTRAS
- Dip half of each cookie in melted white chocolate for a chic upgrade. 💅
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week (but they won’t last that long).
