I had this cookie from a bakery without the cocoa and it was fan-tab-u-lous! Remember when baking to not over bake at all. Bake through just until done.

Sophisticated cookies! I used Hersheys Dark Cocoa powder, 6 Stash teabags and added a pinch of salt. I made them small, about 1 tsp of dough. I chilled the dough and they barely spread at all. These will become a regular treat around here. Thanks for a lovely new taste.

These cookies have somehow managed to push ahead of chocolate chip cookies as my favorite type of cookie. Everyone who had one loved them and couldn't get enough. They were soft and cakey, a little crumbly, and very delicious. I added white chocolate chips, which I felt really added to the delicious flavour combo. We used a food processor to grind up the tea, and it worked perfectly. They were really chocolaty, which I personally loved, but someone who isn't such a big fan of chocolate might want to use less chocolate or a semi-sweet cocoa powder. A great recipe, if you are a tea lover you MUST try it, and I can't wait to try it with other varieties of tea.

Very unique cookie! I didn't have a coffee grinder so I had to suffice with just crumbling the tea leaves as best I could with my fingers, they still ended up in rather large pieces but I didn't mind at all. Definitely an adult cookie, savoury and not overly sweet

You really need to tell people what they are eating or else it just tastes strange. But if you KNOW that flavor is Earl Grey, it makes it pretty cool. The texture of these is perfect. I'll probably make them occasionally in the future.

Tasted like a less-sweet version of a brownie. Word to the wise - do not overcook! Using the same batter, the second tray of cookies became dry and chalky by adding only an extra minute of cooking. I think 7-7.5 minutes is enough; they will taste better the next day using this time frame.

I made these to fill a super chocolate + earl grey tea craving I'd been having. There's a coffee shop where I used to live that made a blended drink incorporating these two things, & then my friend from the UK sent me Belgian dark chocolate with earl grey in it. It was lovely. But I needed some more. These cookies certainly filled my craving. The tea was noticeable and enjoyable. The texture of the cookie is pleasant - nice and soft. I agree with another reviewer that the cookie is brownie like. I shared these with my husbands' fellow graduate students and even the picky ones liked them. I will make again, but I will use more tea and super dark chocolate (just my preference - these were excellent as is).

These were quick, easy, and really tasty. Tastes more like a brownie than a cookie. The batter was really thick, which at first worried me, but they came out beautifully. Do not look like the picture, which was confusing. They look more like the #3 picture. I am definitely making them again. Go really good with the tea they were named after.

Good and tasty. I don't find them moist but they are fluffy and have a nice taste of earl gray. However by the next day they are very dry and I'm not caring for them.
