Earl Grey Tea Cookies

INGREDIENTS

2 cups flour

1⁄2 cup sugar

1⁄2 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons earl grey tea leaves, from approximately 6 tea bags

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon water

1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces (using margarine instead will make this vegan, although I think it would really change the flavor and)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375°F

Pulse together all the dry ingredients in a food processor until the tea leaves are pulverized.

Add vanilla, water, and butter; pulse together until a dough is formed.

Divide the dough in half, placing each half on a sheet of plastic wrap.

Roll each half into a 12-inch log.

Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Slice each log into 1/3 inch thick pieces.

Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or foil, 2 inches apart.

Bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes.

Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
