How to Make Great Gran's Tea Cookies (actually has tea leaves)
- Mix all the dry ingredients, including tea leaves and set aside. Cream butter and sugar in mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time and keep mixing. Keep mixing and add vanilla and gradually add dry ingredients a little at a time until all has been mixed in well. Roll cookie dough out on a mat or table with a small amount of flour if needed and cut out cookies to desired shapes. If you like, make one or two logs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. You can then slice off cookies to bake. Slice about 1/4 inch in thickness. Place on greased cookie sheet. Cookies may spread a little so allow at least an inch between cookies. Bake 350 for 15-20 minutes. Check at 15 minutes to make sure you don't burn them since oven temps vary.
- Options: Delicious eaten plain as shown above. You can stir in 1/2 cup very finely chopped pecans into batter if desired.
