Jasmine Tea Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread cookies are a classic treat, and when infused with jasmine tea, they become something truly special.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all - purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons jasmine tea leaves (I recommend Jasmine Dragon Ball Tea)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- First, take the jasmine tea leaves and crush them gently using a mortar and pestle. This will help release their fragrant oils.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the crushed jasmine tea leaves to the butter - sugar mixture and mix well.
- Sift in the all - purpose flour and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and slice it into 1/4 - inch thick rounds. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These jasmine tea shortbread cookies have a buttery, crumbly texture and a subtle jasmine flavor that lingers on the palate.
