Earl Grey

These Earl Grey Creme Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies came about while I was testing a different cookie.  The previous cookie was good, but this is so much better.

My friend Carolina gave me some Earl Grey infused chocolates a few weeks ago and the flavor combination was so bomb.  I finished mixing the dough and I did happy dance.  I mean it’s so good that I contemplated not sharing the recipe as I thought dang… I could sell these.  BUT you all need to know about it, so here we are.

Earl Grey Cream Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies

Vegan + Paleo

The recipe contains no eggs.  I used flax seeds to replace the eggs as a binder and made with paleo flour and vegan butter.  It’s sweetened with some bourbon infused maple syrup and is filled with dark chocolate chunks.  Then some drizzles of more chocolate is oh so necessary.  It’s a dang special cookie.

I used a variation of Earl Grey called Earl Grey Creme.  It has the addition of vanilla and cornflowers to give it a more creamy after note.

It’s perfect to have with a shot of almond milk that may of been spiked with vodka.

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 3 Tablespoon Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Flax Meal
  • 1 1/2 Cup Paleo Flour I used Bob's Red Mill
  • 2 Tea Bags Earl Grey Creme
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Dark Chocolate
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Powder or Extract
  • 1/2 Cup Maple or Coconut Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup I used Runamok Burbon Infused Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 Cup Vegan Butter I used Miyoko's Kitchen

Garnish

  • 1 Tablespoon Chocolate
  • 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil
  • Cornflowers
  • Orange Zest

Special Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Instructions

Make the Flax "Egg"

  • In a small bowl mix the flax meal and water together.  Let sit for 5 minutes to bind together. 

Make the Cookie Batter

  • In the food processor place the flour, salt, baking powder and tea.  Process until fully incorporated. 
  • Add in the flax mixture, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and vegan butter.  Process until the dough starts to look moist and clump together.  When you pinch the dough in between your fingers it should hold.  If the dough is still crumbling add a small cube of butter.  Add in the chocolate chunks at this point and just pulse a few times to mix in the dough.
  • Take out some parchment paper and shape the dough into a log.  Wrap the paper around the log and place in the freezer until solid.  About an hour.

Bake the Cookie

  • Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.  Line a sheet pan with more parchment paper.
  • Take the dough out of the freezer and cut into 1 cm medallions.  Place on the parchment. 
  • Bake for 10 minutes and cool completely on the tray. 

Decorate the Cookie

  • While the cookies are cooling down place the chocolate and coconut oil in a sauce pan and heat on low to melt.  Use the chocolate to drizzle on the cookies then sprinkle with the cornflowers and orange zest.
