Once butter is softened, add powdered sugar and vanilla to the bowl with the butter and mix on low until completely smooth and creamy.

Add in flour, salt, and Earl Grey tea, mix to combine. The dough should be thick and easy to manipulate.

Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap, and transfer the dough on top of the plastic wrap. Use your hands to begin to form the dough into a log shape.

Keeping the log wrapped, transfer to the refrigerator and refrigerate overnight, or for at least an hour.
