Blueberry Tea Cookies

Yield: About 6 dozen

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons finely ground Higgins & Burke Blueberry tea leaves (about 10 bags, opened and ground)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 (8-oz) sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup icing (confectioner’s) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
​ 
Directions:
  • Whisk together flour, tea and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  •  Mix butter, sugar and lemon zest together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until mixture is fluffy and pale yellow.
  • Reduce the speed to low and slowly add in the flour mixture, just until combined.
  • Divide dough in half. Place each half on parchment paper and shape into logs, about 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Press out as much air as possible from the parchment. Place rolls in freezer for about an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  • Remove rolls form freezer and remove parchment. Cut each log into ¼ inch thick slices. Space 1-inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake until edges turn golden, approximately 13-15 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.
     

Note: cooking time may vary by type of oven.
