Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut open the Earl Grey tea bags and thoroughly mix the tea leaves into the flour mixture. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Add the melted butter, eggs, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer or rubber spatula until a cohesive dough forms. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Gently flatten each ball into a 2-inch cookie. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden brown, approximately 12 minutes. (12 minutes)

06

Step

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For a stronger tea flavor, use a mortar and pestle to grind the Earl Grey tea leaves into a finer powder.
Ensure the butter is only melted halfway to prevent the cookies from spreading too thin during baking.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    These are so easy to make! My kids even helped me roll the dough. We'll definitely be making these again.

  • Lucas Kihn

    My dough was a bit sticky, but chilling it for a few minutes before rolling helped a lot. They turned out perfectly!

  • Thora Kiehn

    These cookies are absolutely divine! The Earl Grey flavor is subtle but noticeable, and they're not too sweet. A perfect afternoon treat!

  • Elsie Muller

    Be careful not to overbake them, or they'll be dry. I found that 10 minutes was perfect in my oven.

  • Adelle Collins

    I've tried other Earl Grey cookie recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The texture is perfect – soft and chewy.

  • Roslyn Mraz

    I made these for a tea party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved the delicate flavor and pretty presentation.

  • Lucio Predovic

    I used chai tea instead of Earl Grey, and they were amazing! Such a versatile recipe.

  • Salvador Greenfelder

    I added a little lemon zest to the dough and it really brightened up the flavor. Thanks for the great recipe!
