Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp earl grey tea
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground star anise
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup candied orange slices
Instructions
- First, brown the butter. Heat 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium high heat until completely melted. Lower to medium low and cook until brown bits start to appear. Remove from the heat and pour into a mixing bowl.
- Using a spice grinder or food processor, break down 1 tbsp of earl grey tea into powder. Add to a separate mixing bowl.
- To the mixing bowl with the earl grey tea, add 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of ground cardamom, 1/4 tsp of ground ginger, 1/4 tsp of ground star anise, 1 cup + 2 tbsp of all purpose flour, 1/2 tsp of baking soda, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Pour 1/4 cup of granulated sugar into a small bowl. Add 1 tbsp of orange zest and rub the sugar into the orange zest until the sugar turns light orange. Pour the sugar into the mixing bowl with the browned butter.
- Follow the granulated sugar with 1/2 cup of light brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add 1 egg and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients from step 3. Mix until just combined.
- Finally, add 1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of candied oranges and mix.
- Let the cookie dough cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Prep 2 baking sheets by covering them with parchment paper.
- Using a #20 cookie scoop (~3 tbsp), scoop the cookies onto the prepped baking sheet. Make sure they are 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are slightly brown. Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
