Line baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prepare the tea flavor, finely grind the Earl Grey tea leaves using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle until powdery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Make the Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix in the ground Earl Grey tea and optional citrus zest until evenly combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
