Earl Grey Tea Cookies

WOW! I'm so glad to have found this recipe... it is so easy and quick!!! After making the first batch (I halved the recipe), I decided to grind all the dry ingredients together and store in an airtight jar. That way, whenever I want cookies, all I have to do, is add the butter and water - which are always at hand. Could make a really nice gift too. I switched the Earl Grey with a Pacific-Sun tea blend (I think it is a black tea mixed with citrus, roses, and other stuff). I also didn't want to take out my blender, so I just threw the dry ingredients in a jar, and mixed with a stick blender until the tea leaves were ground. I didn't add vanilla because I didn't want to take away from the flavour of the tea. So, I used cold brewed tea in place of the water & vanilla. I mixed these in, quite easily, along with the butter, using a fork. Baked at 350F (I was using a dark cookie sheet) for 10 min. Turned off the oven, let a little heat escape, and left the cookies in there another 5 min. They came out wonderfully moist with a slight crunch. Thanks a bunch for this treasure of a recipe!

These cookies are amazing!! I used a lavender Earl Grey, and didn't have white sugar so used light brown sugar, and they turned out fantastic!

These cookies are magnificent! Buttery, crunchy, and not too sweet. Plus the tea give them a distinct flavor. Our food processor is too small to make all the dough, so I used out stand mixer and thus had to make a few procedural changes to the recipe. First, I combined all the dry ingredients on a large bowl, Second, I creamed the butter on high, just long enough to loosen it up, then I added the vanilla. Third, I slowly added the dry mixture into mixer and mixed on low until combined. Came out great!

I subsitituted cinnamon instead of the tea and they came out delicious!
