Time 1h23m

Yield 35 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/3 cup unbleached granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated (my addition)
2 large eggs
2 cups unbleached flour
6 ounces fruit jam, approximately (your flavor choice, we tested strawberry preserves and rose water jam. Read *Tip below.)

Steps:

  • *Tip: make your own "instant" rose water jam by stirring a small amount (about 1-2 teaspoons, to taste) rose water into your favorite homemade or store bought jam.
  • Preheat oven to 365 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, food processor or KitchenAid stand up mixer, combine the butter, sugar, salt, extract, lemon zest and eggs.
  • Stir in the flour until incorporated.
  • Gather cookie dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and chill for 1 hour.
  • Remove from refrigerator and roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4" thickness.
  • Cut into 2" rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (I used the cap to one of the plastic spice bottles in the pantry. It measures 2 1/8").
  • Spoon 1/4 teaspoon (no more than that) fruit jam in center of each dough round, pinch sides of cookie to close (see photo above). Note: the jam should show on both sides of the impression.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes until *very lightly* browned. Rotate the baking sheet at the halfway mark. I noticed a few of the cookies started to come apart in the center where they were pinched. I carefully pinched them again. I'm confident in time my dough pinching skills will improve.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in a covered container.

I'm not a big fan of tea, but I really enjoyed these cookies. They're not too sweet and the tea flavor is very subtle.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover tea bags. They're also a nice, light snack or dessert.

These cookies are delicious! The Earl Grey tea gives them a unique and flavorful twist. I also love the addition of nuts and dried fruit.
