Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (227g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tablespoon high-quality black tea leaves (Earl Grey)
1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (100g) almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it becomes golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the browned butter and mix until smooth, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Add the room-temperature eggs, vanilla extract, and tea leaves to the mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, salt, and dried lavender.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Using high-quality ingredients significantly improves flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
