Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies

Print Recipe

Delightful Earl Grey shortbread cookies infused with tea, perfect for tea time or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons Earl Grey tea (about 8 teabags)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 cups unsalted butter (at room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Earl Grey tea and flour in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to disperse the tea throughout the flour.
  2. Add the salt and confectioners’ sugar. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Cream the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 30 seconds until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter, mixing on low speed until the dough forms.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and pat it into a disk. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
  6. Dust a work surface with flour. Cut the dough into quarters and roll out to your desired thickness using an impression mold to shape the cookies.
  7. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Cut the molded dough into lengths and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes until the cookies are slightly puffed.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven once done and let them cool on a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies pair wonderfully with tea or coffee and keep well in an airtight container.
