Shortbread cookies

 Earl Grey Cookies

Makes 30
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea leaves (or any tea, if using match

a try less to start)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature

In a food processor, pulse together the flour, tea, and salt, until the tea is just spotted throughout the flour.
    if no food processor can use a stand mixer
    make sure your tea leaves are small -tea bags often have small leaves, or put them in the blender or use a motor and pestle
Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and butter. 
Pulse together just until a dough is formed. Place dough on a sheet of plastic wrap, and roll into a log, about 2 1/2-inches in diameter. 
Tightly twist each end of wrap, and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Slice the log into 1/3-inch thick disks. Place on parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart 
Bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and cool to room temperature.
