In another bowl, whisk flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, cardamom and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture., Shape level tablespoons of dough into balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of a glass., Bake 6-8 minutes or until light brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Mix confectioners' sugar and remaining cinnamon.

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.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse together the flour, tea, and salt, until the tea is just spotted throughout the flour. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and butter. Pulse together just until a dough is formed. Place dough on a sheet of plastic wrap, and roll into a log, about 2 1/2-inches in diameter. Tightly twist each end of wrap, and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Slice the log into 1/3-inch thick disks. Place on parchment or silpat lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart (2 probably needed depending on size of sheets). Bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Steep Earl Grey tea bag in hot milk in a bowl.
• Mix sugar and butter together in a large bowl. Mix in egg. Remove tea bag from hot milk; add milky tea mixture to batter. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and lavender; mix dough until well combined.
• Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light brown and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• While cookies are cooking, stir lemon juice and water together in a small bowl. Add sugar, lavender, and lemon zest and stir until combined. Brush or spoon glaze onto cooled cookies.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, tea, baking powder, and salt. In a stand mixer bowl fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter with sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture.
• Turn out dough; divide into 4 pieces. Flatten each into a rectangle and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Whisk flour, tea, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Put butter, sugar, and orange zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture until just combined.
• Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper; shape into logs. Roll in parchment to 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow the log and force out air. Transfer in parchment to paper towel tubes; freeze until firm, 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment.
• Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper. Put 1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar in a small bowl or shallow dish and set aside.
• Combine the butter and tea leaves in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Melt the butter, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to sizzle around the edges. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Add the tea butter to a large bowl, then add brown sugar, salt, orange zest and remaining ¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed or a whisk to combine for about 30 seconds; the mixture will be grainy and separated. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda to the bowl, and mix on low speed or with a rubber spatula until just combined. Use the spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure the dough is evenly mixed.
• Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookies. Alternatively, measure 2 tablespoons of dough with a measuring spoon. Roll each dough ball in the reserved granulated sugar, then place on the baking sheets 2 inches apart.
• Bake the cookies until set, light golden around and crackled on top, 16 to 19 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back in the oven halfway through the baking time. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets. Store extra cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or for a few weeks in the freezer.
