Why You’ll Love This London Fog Cookies Recipe

Whether you’re making a batch for a holiday tray or just want something different to snack on, their subtly floral, sweet flavor makes them stand out in the best way.

What Kind of Earl Grey Should I Use?

Loose leaf Earl Grey is ideal for this recipe because of its bold, fresh flavor. If you’re using tea bags, make sure they are of high quality—you want the bergamot to shine. You can also experiment with lavender-infused Earl Grey if you’re into floral undertones. The tea gets finely ground before adding to the dough, infusing each bite with gentle warmth and complexity.

Ingredients for the London Fog Cookies

The magic in these cookies comes from the blend of tea, vanilla, and creamy white chocolate. Make sure your ingredients are fresh and of good quality to get the best flavor possible.

• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Unsalted butter
• Brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Earl Grey tea leaves
• White chocolate chips

How To Make the London Fog Cookies

Step 1: Prep the Tea

Grind the Earl Grey tea leaves until fine using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Set aside.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This gives the cookies their chewy texture.

Step 3: Mix in the Eggs and Vanilla

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and the ground tea. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Step 5: Fold in the White Chocolate

Gently stir in the white chocolate chips. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft.

Storing and Serving These Cozy Cookies

These cookies are best served slightly warm, when the white chocolate is still melty and the scent of Earl Grey fills the room. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days or frozen for longer storage. This recipe makes around 24 cookies, enough for a crowd or a week’s worth of treats for yourself.
