Ingredients

  • 360 g all-purpose flour (approx. 3 cups minus 1 tbsp.)
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 226 g unsalted butter softened and cubed (1 cup)
  • 300 g granulated sugar or caster sugar (1½ cups) + 4 tbsp. for rolling
  • 1 medium-sized egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2-3 Earl Grey teabags (or 2-3 tsp. loose leaf tea, ground)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C (350F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (you may need to line 2 baking sheets or make these in 2 rounds).
  • Sift and mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt) in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Place softened cubed butter and sugar in a large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until mixture is pale and fluffy (1-2 minutes). Use a spatula to scrape any ingredients from the side of the bowl.
  • Add vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk and mix for 2 minutes until well-combined.
  • Add dry ingredients and the contents of 2-3 Earl Grey teabags (or ground loose leaf tea) and mix until just combined and cookie dough forms. Do not overmix.
  • Using a cookie scoop or your hands, grab around 40g (1.4oz) of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Repeat for the remaining cookie dough.
  • Roll each cookie dough ball into some sugar and transfer to baking sheet, leaving a 2 inch space between each one.
  • Bake in the oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges start to turn slightly golden brown. Cookies will be soft when out of the oven and will harden as they cool.
  • If you'd like flat, wrinkly cookies, carefully lift the baking sheet (be careful as it would be hot), then bang down on a heat-proof surface a few times, to force cookies to breathe out all their hot air and flatten. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
