Earl Grey Tea Cookies

Earl Grey Tea Cookies

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

  • 4 tablespoons Earl Grey tea leaves, from approximately 12 tea bags

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Directions

  • Heat oven to 375° F. Pulse together all the dry ingredients in a food processor until the tea leaves are pulverized.
  • Add the vanilla, 1 teaspoon water, and the butter. Pulse together until a dough is formed. Divide the dough in half. Place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a 12-inch log, about 2 inches in diameter.
  • Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Slice each log into disks, 1/3 inch thick. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
