Earl Grey Tea cookies (Vegan)

[Gina_Choong]

Every month, I created at least 2 cookie recipes for customers at my shop. Mainly to show off the stuff I have and to also show them how easy it is to bake a cookie without the use of fancy equipment like a cake mixer. Maybe an oven.

This is for November..also next week, the Hindus in Singapore celebrates the Festival of Lights.

This is super easy to do. Great for tea with friends. For kids too. If any kid you know is allergic to eggs or gluten..you can substitute tea leaves with cocoa powder or anything a child loves without having allergy to.

Enjoy!

Just baked..


Piped out..ready to go into the oven.

Those are very pretty, Gina! I like the idea of piping, it would be quick and easy which is always a good thing.

I like the idea of tea cookies. I'll have to give these a try over the holidays. I can actually get the tea!

Earl Grey seems to be one of those things people either love or hate, but I happen to love it, and I would really love to try these cookies. None of the regular stores, here, carry Earl Grey, but I think I've seen it in Dunkin Donuts, so I'll have to see if I can get the teabags and not just a cup of tea.

Do I understand the recipe correctly, that the actual leaves are removed from the teabags and added to the mixture (i.e. you'll be eating the leaves once these are all done)?

May have to try these. Earl Grey is my favorite tea, don't know if Bob's crazy about it thought.

[Gina_Choong]

yes..the idea of using tea leaves out of a tea bag came from a cookbook from Japan. They use it to make the most delightful Earl Grey Tea sponge cake..

Its like eating tea..

[labradors]

Cool! I know it's not unheard of, but it's good to double check.

Considering the taste of Earl Grey, I would probably like the sponge cake even better than the cookies. Do you have the recipe for that - or, at least, the amount of tea leaves one would add to a standard sponge cake recipe?

Thanks!
