Like a delicious earl grey tea latte in soft sugar cookie form, these are the perfect treat on a rainy afternoon.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons earl grey tea leaves, finely ground (I used Teapigs Earl Grey Strong)
1 cup vegan butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon agave syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Directions
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt and finely ground earl grey tea leaves. This is the dry mixture.
In a standing mixer with whisk attachment or mixing bowl with hand mixer, whip together butter and sugars for 2 minutes. Add orange zest, vanilla, agave and applesauce. This is the wet mixture.
Slowly add in the dry mixture into the wet mixture until well incorporated.
Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes to allow the tea and citrus flavors to develop. I prefer to chill mine overnight.
Preheat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, a couple inches apart.
Bake 10-12 minutes until golden. Enjoy!
