Oolong Tea Cookies

0 · Jan 29, 2014 · 19 Comments

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons butter

½ heaping cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon ground oolong tea

1 cup all-purpose flour

Confectioner’s sugar for rolling the dough

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl whip butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and oolong tea until a very soft and moist cookie dough forms.

Pour about ½ cup of confectioner’s sugar in a small bowl.

Scoop out about a teaspoon amount of cookie dough and roll in confectioner’s sugar. Place on prepared cookie sheets and flatten out with bottom of a glass.

Bake for about 8 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

Serve with your favorite tea and enjoy!

Living the Gourmet is happy to welcome back Teavivre, a high-quality line of pure Chinese Tea.

We received a wonderful assortment of their organic Oolong teas, a clean and mildly sweet blend. It has a natural sweetness that almost resembles honey. The tea itself has a light golden color and has been a true delight to review.

Tea seems to be a rising ingredient in the food world, not only for drinking anymore, which personally I think is a wonderful idea. Nice looking cookies, Tammy. I would love one with tea:) Thanks for sharing...

Dear Catherine, Love these cookies. A perfect way to enjoy a cup of tea. Years ago my grandmother would buy me a box of brown edge cookies.These remind me of those, which I loved. A lovely recipe, and I also think I will enjoy that Teavivre, tea. As you know I love tea in any shape of form. Also, a great cookie to celebrate Chinese New Year with...Thanks...Blessings Dottie :)
