Earl-Grey Sugar-Cookie Dough image

Classic sugar cookie dough gets the teatime treatment when finely ground Earl Grey is added to the dough. Distinctly citrus, the tea infuses the dough with bergamot and-once baked-it's perfect for serving alongside a 'cuppa. Use your favorite holiday cookie cutter and head here for rolling and baking instructions, or use this recipe to build a magical (and edible!) woodland cookie cottage.
