Description

Delightful cookies blending the sweet creaminess of caramelized white chocolate with fragrant notes of Earl Grey and a hint of citrus zest.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons Earl Grey tea (loose-leaf or bags)
  • Zest of 1 lemon or orange
  • 1 cup caramelized white chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the citrus zest and Earl Grey tea.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk flour and baking soda together, then gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the caramelized white chocolate.
  7. Scoop dough onto baking sheets, leaving space for spreading, and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft.
  8. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Enjoy with a cup of tea or share with friends!

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. For added flavor, consider chilling the dough before baking.
