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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and loose-leaf tea until evenly combined.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 6

Add the teaspoon of milk to bring the dough together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 4 balls and flatten slightly into discs. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring some space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve with tea and enjoy with a loved one or save the extras for later!
