Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp jasmine tea leaves finely ground into a powder (from about 4 tea bags)
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Notes
Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze unbaked dough balls on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag; bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to baking time. Make-ahead: Dough can be made, shaped into logs, wrapped, and refrigerated for up to 3 days; slice and bake as needed. Substitutions: For a stronger tea flavor, use 3 tablespoons of ground tea. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Serving suggestion: Pair with a cup of hot jasmine tea or light herbal tea.
