Instructions
Make the cookies:
- Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, earl grey tea, powdered sugar, salt) into a food processor. Pulse a few times.
- Add in the butter, vanilla extract and bergamot oil extract (if using).
- Pulse a few times until a dough begins to form.
- Dump the contents from the food processor onto a large piece of parchment paper.
- Gather the dough with your hands and press to form a cylindrical log.
- Wrap the log with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F/191°C.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and use a sharp knife to slice into rounds, about 1 cm thickness.
- Place the cut rounds flat onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies at 375°F/191°C for approximately 12 mins, until lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cup of Yum
Decorate with chocolate:
- Add dark chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat the chocolate in 20-second increments, and give it a stir. Repeat until all the chocolate has melted.
- Dip the cookies in the melted chocolate, or use a spatula to coat the melted chocolate onto the cookie.
- You can also drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie if you like.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
