Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking while still warm. (Cooling time: 5-10 minutes)
For a more intense Earl Grey flavor, use a high-quality Earl Grey tea with bergamot oil.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their soft texture.
Consider adding a glaze or frosting to elevate the cookies further. A simple powdered sugar glaze infused with Earl Grey tea would be a delightful addition.
Experiment with different types of chocolate. Dark chocolate chips or chunks can add a delightful contrast to the Earl Grey flavor.

Dec 7, 2024The texture is perfect – soft and cake-like. I accidentally overbaked them a little, so I'll be sure to watch them closely next time.

Dec 2, 2024I used a mortar and pestle to grind the tea leaves, and it worked great. These cookies are definitely going into my regular baking rotation!
