Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Prepare the Cookie Dough
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Earl Grey tea leaves, lemon zest, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Bake the Cookies
• Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
• Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Prepare the Glaze
• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
• Glaze the Cookies
• Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle or spread the glaze over the top of each cookie.
• Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Tips

• For a stronger Earl Grey flavor, grind the tea leaves in a spice grinder before adding them to the dough.
• If you prefer a more subtle lemon flavor, reduce the amount of lemon zest in the dough.
