Earl Grey Tea Cookies
Sang An
How to Make It
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Slice each log into disks, 1/3 inch thick. Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
Step 4
Bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

these cookies were delicious!!! i got about 20 cookies per 'log' i added 1 teaspoon of water to help create the dough and found it came together nicely. i topped 1/2 the batch with a homemade apricot jam in the middle (and jam would do) and because its easter i added a cadbury Mini Egg to the middle of that.... fun festive and melt in your mouth!
I used an fresh organic loose leaf...what beautiful purple flowers within.
enjoy! You cant eat just one

I substituted Assam for Earl Grey and used coconut sugar, and they came out perfectly! This is my new favorite recipe!

I substituted the teaspoon of vanilla extract for a teaspoon of bergamot extract (the essence of earl gray tea) and the cookies came out tasting like earl gray shortbread cookies. Definitely an adult cookie to eat while drinking a nice cup of tea.

Just made these,,,definetly an adult cookie, my 8 yr old dtr said yuck and asked if there was pepper in them, my girlfriends and I really liked them though, didnt need icing, thought the cookie had plenty of flavor, next time I will use 5 tea bags. Biglow tea bags were fine. As for blueiceangel...it calls for a teaspoon of water in step 1. I almost missed it as it is not written in the list of ingredients. Merry Christmas!!

I have made these as part of my Christmas cookie assortment for the past several years. I have never had any trouble with the dough being crumbly, though I pulverize the tea leaves by themselves in my food processor and combine the dough in my KitchenAid mixer. I recommend using a high quality, fresh earl grey tea (not the dusty old bags of Lipton in the back of the cupboard). I always buy loose leaf tea from the organic herb supplier in my home town, but Teavana might be more reliable for most. I have also used Stash bagged tea. The flavor is more subtle than, say, a lemon shortbread, but I think that's what makes it good.

For some reason ... My dough was very crumbly. I added exactly what the recipes says + a few more teaspoons of water. It was still very crumbly and i couldn't even roll it into a log o-o. Am i doing something wrong?

I created a profile just to call attention to the fact that this recipe is blatantly plagiarized from food.com. BOO Real Simple, you should know better: http://www.food.com/recipe/earl-grey-tea-cookies-119032

For those of you who felt that the recipe was lacking flavor, try a different brand of tea bag. Bigelow makes an Earl Grey tea that is considerably stronger and more flavorful than most. Also, I made a lemon glaze to lightly frost the cookies with, and they tasted incredible. The recipe for the glaze is as follows: * 1/4 cup butter melted
* 2 tbs lemon juice
* Enough confectioner's sugar to make a thick glaze
I urge you to try the recipe again using these. It's well worth it.

I suggest pulverizing tea leaves in coffee grinder.
As for me, I used Earl Grey Cream loose leave tea from Teavana, and that added very good flavor.
I guess it depends on tea.

I like the cookie, but agree with GinnaP-no flavor, really. I'm thinking of trying again, but maybe using moistened tea leaves. It seems like that may bring out the flavor, but not change the dough texture too much.
