These Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies are perfect not only for your next cookie break but for any holiday occasion too. Shortbread cookies are my favorites! When I think of shortbread cookies, I think of their rich buttery and flaky melt-in-your-mouth texture. And these cookies meet my expectations fully. In addition, my favorite Earl Grey flavor infuses these crispy and tender shortbread cookies. Besides, this dough is ideal for a slice-and-bake log. Yes, it’s that easy!
These butter shortbread cookies are so easy to make, and they taste so amazing that you will definitely want to include them on your Christmas shortbread cookie list. And if you wish to make them kid-friendly, use the decaf Earl Grey tea alternative.
To make these Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
In a food processor, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons Earl Grey tea leaves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Pulse together until the tea leaves are spotted throughout the flour.
Add ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup butter.
Pulse again until the dough is formed but do not over mix.
Transfer the dough on a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a 2½-inch log. Twist the ends tightly, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375 °F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Unwrap the log and cut into 24 (⅓-inch thick) slices. Place shortbread slices 2-inch apart on baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are just brown.
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to the wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these cookies with milk or tea and have a great snak!
