Chocolate Earl Grey Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream together butter, sugar, and tea. Beat in vanilla, then eggs, one at a time until incorporated. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder; fold into egg mixture until just mixed.
• Drop cookies by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the cream, tea bags, butter and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl, pour the hot cream mixture over it and let it sit, undisturbed, until the chocolate is almost completely melted, about 10 minutes.
• Stir the chocolate-cream mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula until combined and smooth. Stir in the vanilla, then whisk until the ganache is smooth and shiny. Transfer to a shallow container, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Put the cocoa powder in another shallow dish. Scoop tablespoons of the firm ganache, roll into balls and then coat each in the cocoa powder. Transfer the truffles to the prepared baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Steps:

• Combine the all-purpose flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, almond flour, tea leaves, orange zest, vanilla, salt and almond extract in a food processor and pulse just until a dough forms. Turn out on a lightly floured piece of plastic wrap and gently press into a 1-inch-thick disc. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 3 1/2-inch scalloped cutter or desired cutter. Sprinkle the top of the cookies with sanding sugar. Bake just until the edges are lightly golden, 7 to 12 minutes depending on the size of the cookies. Let cool on the sheet pans.
