Yesterday after church, I decided to try a
Martha Stewart cookie recipe I first came across a few years ago. This recipe is made using ground Earl Grey tea leaves, and it is super easy to make.
With just six ingredients, these whipped up in no time. I substituted lemon zest for the orange zest, simply because I like the pairing of Earl Grey tea and lemon, but I'm sure the recipe would be good with orange zest as well. If you read through the recipe, you'll see that it calls for you to make a log out of the dough by rolling it up in parchment paper, then insert the log inside a paper towel tube to freeze for an hour before slicing and baking. I thought that was a great tip for getting uniformly shaped logs of cookie dough, so I'll be using this method on other slice-and-bake cookies.
The result? A very tasty lemon and Earl Grey tea flavored cookie with the texture of shortbread. Delicious! (And if you're out of parchment paper, as I was, lightly butter some aluminum foil and it will work just fine.)

sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great cookie - I'm a fan of shortbread. Thanks for the link - I love the gift presentation idea with the cookies and tea sachets.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've made these before but I did use the orange and I can tell you they were so good. I did not put them in a paper towel roll. But it's a great idea. I don't think I even remember reading that part. I got the recipe from one of her magazines I believe. Anyway your's looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. Thanks for bringing the recipe to our attention. I'll be making some of these soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, these do sound yummy!! I'm going to host a cookie exchange in a few weeks, maybe I'll add these to the line up. Thanks Angela!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Using the paper towel roll is a new idea for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for mine. They are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this recipe. The cookies look great and they would be terrific for a tea party.

The cookies do look delicious. Just the kind of cookie I would love with my tea. I usually don't have parchment paper on hand, but I swear by my Silpat pads. Have you tried them?
ReplyDeleteYumm! I made one of her shortbread recipes a few years ago, using green tea. They were good, too.
ReplyDeletei bought early grey shortbread at a cookie bazaar and i've been trying to find a good recipe to replicate it.
ReplyDeletei'm not sure if it's my comp, but that martha stewart page keeps coming up blank. is anyone else having that problem...? i'd really like to try them out.
I just tried it and it's still working fine for me. (And it reminded me of how good these cookies were! Time to make them again, methinks!)
