Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 6 oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped or chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and Earl Grey tea.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until combined.
  6. Fold in chopped dark chocolate.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between cookies to spread.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
  9. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use finely ground tea leaves for even flavor distribution.
  • Dark chocolate chunks or chips work equally well depending on desired texture.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
