Delightful cookies infused with citrus zest and Earl Grey tea, blended with caramelized white chocolate for a unique flavor experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
- 2 tablespoons brewed Earl Grey tea, cooled
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup caramelized white chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add the egg and citrus zest; mix on low until combined.
- Infuse the Earl Grey tea in hot water, let it cool, and stir into the mixture.

- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheets, leaving space between them.

Notes
Use softened butter for the best texture and avoid overmixing the dough for tender cookies.
