Method
 

How to Make Lavender Earl Grey Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves, and crushed culinary lavender in a bowl.
  3. Cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth and well-combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until there are no visible flour streaks.
  6. Blend in the milk or cream to soften the dough.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are just golden.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  10. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
