Here’s how to make Citrus, Earl Grey, and Caramelized White Chocolate Sugar Cookies effortlessly:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until fully combined.
- Stir in the citrus zests of orange and lemon for that refreshing flavor boost.
- Mix the crushed Earl Grey tea leaves into the batter until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Gently fold in the chopped caramelized white chocolate until evenly dispersed in the dough.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes for better texture.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
By following these simple steps, you’ll ensure that your cookies come out perfectly every time!
