Since I work at a nutrition research laboratory, to make these cookies just a tad healthier, grapeseed oil is used.
This recipe is an extension to a recent article on Earl Grey:
"Earl Grey....from an obsession to a devotion"
Makes 2 dozen cookies
135g grapeseed oil
100g light brown sugar
150g granulated sugar
55g unsweetened cacao
2 Earl Grey tea bags, grind finely with a coffee grinder
3 large eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
50g bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
180g all-purpose flour
7g baking powder
1 pinch salt
200g bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1. Preheat oven to 350oF. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl with the grapeseed oil, stir in the brown and granulated sugars, then stir in the cacao and Earl Grey tea powder until incorporated.
3. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Scrape in the melted chocolate, and mix until incorporated.
4. Gradually stir in the flour mixture in 3 additions, do not over mix. During the final addition, add the chopped chocolate along with the flour.
5. Freeze the dough for 4 hours or overnight.
6. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Scoop the cookie dough into tightly formed balls using a small ice cream scoop (size 24). Arrange the dough on the prepared baking trays, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes, then turn and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove cookies from trays with a wide metal spatula and cool on wire rack.
Bon Appetit!

I looooooooove Earl Grey and chocolate together.
I normally get my fix with the Dolfin Earl Grey flavoured chocolate bars, but it looks like these cookies might be a slightlier healthy alternative. :)
