Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea leaves
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup sanding sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the all-purpose flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, almond flour, tea leaves, orange zest, vanilla, salt and almond extract in a food processor and pulse just until a dough forms. Turn out on a lightly floured piece of plastic wrap and gently press into a 1-inch-thick disc. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 3 1/2-inch scalloped cutter or desired cutter. Sprinkle the top of the cookies with sanding sugar. Bake just until the edges are lightly golden, 7 to 12 minutes depending on the size of the cookies. Let cool on the sheet pans.

CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES

This version of the sugar cookie has a slightly crispy edge and a super chewy center--thanks to increasing the sugar and baking at a higher temperature. Roll the cookies in colored sugar instead of granulated for a sparkly upgrade.

Time 1h35m

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for rolling
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to incorporate. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat on medium-low speed until incorporated.
  • Put some sugar in a small bowl. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter, roll them into balls and coat in the sugar. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. (There will be additional batter for a second batch.)
  • Bake until the bottoms and edges are barely golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. When the baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining batter. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CHEWY EARL GREY SUGAR COOKIES

Floral and citrusy Earl Grey tea livens up these chewy sugar cookies. Instead of adding the leaves to the dough, the tea is steeped in melted butter for maximum flavor. If you are using loose leaf tea instead of tea from bags, use a mortar and pestle or spice grinder to finely grind it before adding it to the butter. Try adding a handful of chopped chocolate shards to the dough to make these cookies even more special.

Time 45m

Yield About 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
14 tablespoons/198 grams unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves, from about 3 tea bags
1/2 cup/100 grams light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups/320 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper. Put 1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar in a small bowl or shallow dish and set aside.
  • Combine the butter and tea leaves in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Melt the butter, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to sizzle around the edges. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Add the tea butter to a large bowl, then add brown sugar, salt, orange zest and remaining ¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed or a whisk to combine for about 30 seconds; the mixture will be grainy and separated. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda to the bowl, and mix on low speed or with a rubber spatula until just combined. Use the spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure the dough is evenly mixed.
  • Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookies. Alternatively, measure 2 tablespoons of dough with a measuring spoon. Roll each dough ball in the reserved granulated sugar, then place on the baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies until set, light golden around and crackled on top, 16 to 19 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back in the oven halfway through the baking time. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets. Store extra cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or for a few weeks in the freezer.
