London Fog Snickerdoodles

• ½ cup butter

• ⅓ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 cup, 2 tablespoons flour

• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

• ¼ teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ½ teabag Earl Grey tea leaves (about 1 ½ teaspoons)

• 2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 cup icing sugar

• 1 teaspoon earl grey tea leaves

Directions

1. Preheat to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Then add the egg, and mix well before adding the vanilla and combining everything together until light and fluffy.

3. Add the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and earl grey tea leaves and mix until just combined.

4. Scoop the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and roll into a shallow plate of cinnamon sugar. Place on baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, when the edges are set but not golden and the insides are just a little undercooked.

5. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on a cooling rack unti completely cooled.

6. To make the buttercream, use a stand or hand mixer and beat the butter for 7-8 minutes. Then when the butter begins to get lighter in colour and larger in volume, add the icing sugar and beat until completely combined and it starts to get fluffy, about 7 minutes.

7. Spread the icing on the cookies and enjoy!
