I've found a bunch of people claiming to have invented this cookie. I didn't. I adore tea and cookies and cookies that crumble well in tea. This is like the shortcut. Apparently the dough also freezes very well.
Earl Grey Tea Cookies
500 ml (2 cups) flour
125 ml (1/2 cup) sugar
125 ml (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
6 Earl Grey teabags
1 tsp vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
1 tsp water
200 g butter substitute, unsalted
Use a food processor, and blitz the tea from all teabags with the sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar if using, and flour. If you're using vanilla extract, add this now, with the butter and water. Let the machine work it into a nice dough. If it's too dry, add another teaspoon of water, if it's too wet, add a little more flour.
Shape into tubes, wrap in plastic, and leave in the fridge or freezer to firm up for at least a 6 hours, or overnight.
Bake at 180°C for about 10 minutes.
