Print Recipe

A delightful fusion of sweet and floral flavors combining Earl Grey tea and lavender in a buttery cookie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (9.5 ounces or 270 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon finely ground Earl Grey tea (from 3 tea bags or 4 teaspoons loose leaf tea)
  • ½ teaspoon culinary-grade lavender, finely ground
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cup (8.80 ounces or 250 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (8 ounces or 227 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • Optional: Blue cornflower petals for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, finely ground Earl Grey tea, lavender, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix just until combined.
  6. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help it hold its shape while baking.
  7. Form dough balls of 1 to 2 inches in size and roll them in granulated sugar.
  8. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  9. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle optional blue cornflower petals on top.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Customize flavors and try different teas.
