I've made these cookies with both black tea and green tea, and they're both delicious. I think the black tea gives the cookies a slightly richer flavor, but the green tea is also very good.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover tea leaves. I always have a few bags of loose-leaf tea in my pantry, and this is a great way to use them up.
