Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup icing sugar
½ cup butter, at room temperature
1 egg
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp Earl Grey tea leaves
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
½ tsp vanilla
2 tbsp. decorating sugar (for rolling, optional)
Directions:
Directions:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter with the sugar. Add egg and vanilla and mix until blended well.

Add the flour, tea leaves, baking powder and salt and mix to combine into a soft dough.

On a clean work surface, roll the dough into a log. Roll log in decorating sugar (if using). Wrap log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 24 hours until ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 400ºF and lightly grease a baking sheet. Slice chilled dough into ¼-inch thick slices. Bake until the edges are light brown and the middles set, about 6-8 minutes. Be aware that the bottoms will brown long before the sides or tops do, so don't over bake!

Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep covered at room temperature for 1-2 days.
