baked these cookies today. they were super easy to make. even a monkey could do it, cuz i'm sure monkeys know how to use an electric beater, they do have opposable thumbs. u basically dump all 5 ingredients into a bowl, mix, then press onto the bottom of an 8 inch square pan.
earl grey shortbread cookies
*1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
*1 tbsp earl grey tea leaves (about 2 tea bags)
*1/2 cup powdered sugar
*1 cup flour
*1/2 tsp salt
preheat oven to 325 degrees F. grease an 8 inch square pan. beat together butter and tea. add powdered sugar and beat. add flour and salt then beat. transfer dough to prepared greased pan and press down with fingers to make an even layer. bake until edges are golden, about 30 minutes. using a fork make perforated lines down into the dough to form 16 cookies. cool for 10 minutes, then slide cookies out of pan.
i really enjoyed these cookies, especially since it's my first time baking shortbread cookies. the texture is just right and i'll def be making these again. the only thing i would change would be to either omit the salt of reduce it down to 1/4 tsp. i like this recipe cuz it's so easy aaaaand i can make it with all different kinds of teas.
