Making Earl Grey Shortbread While the World Combusts
Everything is awful but at least buttery cookies exist
I recommend making these with the Harney and Sons Loose Leaf Earl Grey as it has the best aroma and flavor compared to other brands. Using loose leaf tea instead of leaves from a tea bag will most likely yield a much more delicious cookie since loose leaf tea is higher quality. I haven’t tried it with tea bag leaves before so let me know if you try it that way and it works!
I was going to fully illustrate this recipe, but as a visual learner, I think it’s way more helpful having photos alongside a recipe so I thought I’d include my terrible photos.
I call these my “please be my friend” cookies as I tend to make them every time I go to an event with a lot of people I don’t know. They’re also known as my “earl grey crack cocaine cookies” since it’s hard to eat just one and you’ll find yourself eating fistfuls of it in one sitting. Every time I ask Adam what he wants for his birthday he just says he wants a box of these to gorge himself on.
The world is generally terrible and I don’t know how any of us are supposed to function right now. I know that I’m not but hopefully if you do make these cookies they turn out well and you’ll feel a little better.
