Yield Makes about 8 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves (from about 4 bags)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, tea, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.

  • Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper; shape into logs. Roll in parchment to 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow the log and force out air. Transfer in parchment to paper towel tubes; freeze until firm, 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment.
  • Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

LAVENDER TEA COOKIES



Lavender Tea Cookies image

A British friend made these for me when I visited her in 1999 and I've been making them every since. They are very buttery and spread like crazy while baking, but you can almost hear the bees buzzing on the lavender when you try one. I kept the recipe to myself for quite a while and only shared it with another friend when she remarked how good they were. Now, they are a standard in HER home and a perennial favourite at her church's bake sale! Very good when served with a cuppa hot tea, especially Earl Grey. And please don't be tempted to add salt or vanilla extract; this is just a plain buttery lavender cookie.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 22m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup unsalted butter, very soft
2/3 cup superfine sugar (minus 1 tablespoon!)
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (minus 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers, slightly ground with a mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream butter and sugar together by hand.
  • Add egg and beat until well combined.
  • Stir in the flour and lavender flowers until well combined.
  • On a parchment lined cookie sheet, drop dough by tablespoon, spacing at least 3 inches apart, allowing for the cookie to spread out.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pale golden brown and the edges tinge brown.
  • *They will be very soft until cooled on a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container; they are better the 2nd day, if they last that long.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use good quality Earl Grey tea. Its flavor will greatly contribute to the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Lavender Earl Grey tea cookies are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their delicate floral flavor and light texture, these cookies are sure to please everyone. They are also relatively easy to make, so you can enjoy them even if you're not a seasoned baker. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these lavender Earl Grey tea cookies a try.
