Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 16

Ingredients
  

  • BUBBL’R orange dream freez’r for serving
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup earl grey tea leaves
  • ⅔ cup granulated cane sugar plus more for rolling
  • zest of 2 oranges
  • 1 ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • juice of ½ orange
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. fine baking salt
  • 2 cups chopped white chocolate
  • ⅓ cup sesame seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, continue to stir until brown specs form at the bottom and it smells nutty, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove the brown butter from heat to stir in the earl grey tea leaves. Let steep 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the taste to be.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and orange zest. Mix with your fingers to release the orange essences.
  • Add the eggs, egg yolks, dark brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute.
  • Strain the earl grey tea leaves out of the browned butter and pour the browned butter into the egg mixture. Whisk vigorously for one more minute.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Add to the browned butter mixture and fold all ingredients together.
  • Fold in the chopped white chocolate chunks.
  • Using a large cookie scooper, about ¼ cup batter per cookie, evenly distribute the cookies on the prepared baking pans with 3-4”in between each.
  • Roll each cookie dough ball in granulated cane sugar and (optional) the edges in sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, until centers are set. Halfway into baking, take the pans out to gently bang against the stovetop to interrupt the baking process.
  • Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Enjoy warm or throughout the week with BUBBL’R Orange Dream Freez’r for a complementary refreshment!
