Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the Butter: Start by melting the unsalted butter and Earl Grey tea leaves together in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until fully melted and cool to room temperature.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled butter and tea mixture, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth.
  3. Sift Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the Oven: While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Portion the dough into balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 9-13 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
