Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and Earl Grey tea leaves until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls and flatten slightly.
Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For a citrus twist, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for firmer cookies.
