EARL GREY TEA COOKIES



EARL GREY TEA COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Bake

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour
2 tbsps finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves (from about 4 bags)
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp orange zest, finely grated

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, tea, and salt in a bowl. Beat together butter, confectioners' sugar, and orange zest on medium speed until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Reduce speed to low and gradually mix in flour mixture until just combined. Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper and shape into logs. Roll in parchment to 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Freeze until firm (1 hour). Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut logs into 1/4 inch thick slices. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment (I skip the parchment). Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality Earl Grey tea. The better the tea, the better the cookies will taste. Look for a tea that is fragrant and has a strong flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until they are just set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will be easier to handle and will taste better if you let them cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

Earl Grey cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a snack, dessert, or a gift. With their delicate flavor and beautiful appearance, Earl Grey cookies are sure to impress your friends and family.
