Time 4h

Yield 24 to 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups cake flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1-pound box confectioners' sugar (about 3 3/4 cups)
2 tablespoons meringue powder
Nonpareils, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat until just incorporated. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, lightly dust the dough with flour and roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper until about 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate until slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Cut out shapes using 2-to-4-inch cookie cutters and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm; reroll once to cut out more cookies. Refrigerate the cutouts until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the cookies, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until just golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing: Sift the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder into a large bowl. Beat in 6 tablespoons water with a mixer on medium speed until soft, glossy peaks form. Spread on the cookies and decorate with nonpareils. Let set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tea: Use a strong, flavorful black tea like Assam or Earl Grey. This will give your cookies a bold iced tea flavor.
  • Make sure your tea is cold: Brew your tea ahead of time and let it cool completely before using it in the recipe. This will prevent the cookies from becoming too soft.
  • Use high-quality butter: The butter is one of the most important ingredients in these cookies, so make sure you use a high-quality butter like unsalted butter. This will give your cookies a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: You want the cookies to be slightly soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These Iced Tea Cookies are the perfect summer treat. They are light, refreshing, and bursting with iced tea flavor. They are also easy to make, so you can enjoy them any time. With these tips, you can make the perfect iced tea cookies every time.
