Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon loose-leaf tea (Earl Grey or any tea of choice)
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.125 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and loose-leaf tea until evenly combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a crumbly dough forms.
Add the teaspoon of milk to bring the dough together. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough into 4 balls and flatten slightly into discs. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring some space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with tea and enjoy with a loved one or save the extras for later!
