Earl Grey Tea Cookies
Servings: 50 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp finely ground earl grey tea leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 1 tbsp finely grated orange zest
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, tea and salt in a medium sized bowl.
- Place the butter, icing sugar, and orange zest into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Reduce the speed to low, and gradually add the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half and transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper.
- Roll each dough half into a log shape about 1 1/4" in diameter. Wrap in parchment paper, twisting the ends shut, and place each log in a paper towel tube (see notes above on how to get an even shaped log). Refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour).
- Pre-heat your oven 350°F.
- Use a sharp knife to cut your dough logs into 1/4 inch thick discs.
- Place cookies 1 inch apart on a parchment lined cookie tray.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the edges are barely golden.
