Earl Grey Creme Cardamom Cookies

Ingredients

  • 7 Tbsp. (1 oz.) Earl Grey Crème Tea
  • ½ tsp. Cardamom Seed, ground
  • 2 tsp. Madagascar Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 cups + 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips

Directions

  1. COMBINE butter and Earl Grey Creme Tea leaves in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and steep on low for 10 mins. Remove from heat, let sit 10 mins.
  2. POUR through a mesh strainer, pressing on tea to extract maximum amount of liquid, to equal 1 cup melted butter. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. PREHEAT oven to 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. COMBINE flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  5. BEAT brown sugar, melted butter, Cardamom Seed, and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 2 mins. Add eggs and Madagascar Pure Vanilla Extract. Beat until combined.
  6. REDUCE speed to low, add flour mixture in 3 additions, scraping down bowl as needed, until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  7. DROP 2 Tbsp. balls of dough onto prepared sheets. Bake until edges are set but centers are still soft, 15-18 mins., rotating sheets halfway through baking.
  8. COOL 10 mins. before serving.
