Infused with Earl Grey tea&#8217;s fragrant and soothing notes, these cookies are perfect for a sophisticated afternoon snack. The hint of cardamom and cinnamon adds a warm, spiced aroma, making each bite a truly comforting experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Earl Grey tea is a popular black tea blend<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> containing bergamot orange oil, which gives it its citrusy aroma. Named after Charles Grey, a British prime minister in the 1830s, it is known for its sophisticated taste. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The tea adds a subtle floral and citrus flavor to these cookies, enhancing the overall taste. The bergamot pairs well with the cookies&#8217; spices and complements their buttery, tender texture. Earl Grey cookies are a delightful addition to any teatime or dessert spread.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ingredients for Earl Grey Cookies<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Earl Grey tea bag:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The tea infuses the dough with a subtle floral and citrus aroma, enhancing the cookie&#8217;s overall flavor. You can use chai tea or any other favorite tea blend for a different flavor profile.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Boiling water: <\/span><\/strong>The hot water <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">extracts the flavors from the tea bag, creating a rich tea concentrate to blend into the dough.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Butter softened:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Butter provides a rich and creamy texture to the cookies, making them tender and flavorful. Use unsalted butter if you are looking to control the amount of salt in your recipe. For a dairy-free option, use margarine or a plant-based butter substitute.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sugar:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Sugar adds sweetness and helps achieve a light and fluffy texture in the creamed butter mixture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Large egg:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The egg binds the ingredients together and adds the necessary moisture to the dough. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All-purpose flour:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> In this recipe, the flour provides the bulk and structure for the cookies, giving them a perfect crumbly texture. For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ground cinnamon:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Cinnamon adds a warm spice to the dough and enhances the cookie&#8217;s aromatic quality. Nutmeg or allspice make good alternatives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ground cardamom:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Cardamom is a unique and fragrant spice, complementing the Earl Grey tea in these cookies. If unavailable, ground ginger can provide a similar warm note.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Confectioners&#8217; sugar:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> This sugar creates a light and sweet dusting on the cookies, adding a touch of elegance. For a less sweet option, reduce the amount or omit it entirely.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Directions<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 1: Steep <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the tea<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2025484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Earl-Grey-Cookies_TOHD24_135960_ChristineMa_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Steep the tea\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Place the Earl Grey tea bag in a<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> 1-cup glass measuring <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">cup.
