Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 150 grams ground digestive biscuit
  • 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon 20 grams Earl Grey tea leaves (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 cups 240 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks 226 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup 198 grams granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup 142 grams light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup 170 grams white chocolate chips (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, blend the digestive biscuits until finely ground. Measure 1 cup into a medium sized bowl.
  • In a spice grinder, grind the tea leaves until they resemble the appearance of fresh ground black pepper.
  • To the bowl with the ground digestive biscuit, add the ground tea leaves, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Combine.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter with the two sugars until lighter in color.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips until just incorporated.
  • Scoop and roll 2 inch pieces of dough onto a baking sheet and flatten each dough ball slightly.
  • Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Once chilled, place the slightly flattened dough balls at least 3 inches apart on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Optional: While the cookies are still hot out of the oven, place a few white chocolate chips in the center of each cookie, leave for 1 minute to melt, then use a spoon to spread the chips into a small pool of chocolate. Lightly sprinkle with extra tea leaves.

Notes

  • If you don’t own a 1/3 teaspoon, you can measure out a heaping 1/4 teaspoon.
