I’m very much into tea recently…not sure you have noticed…have you?

Well, more than into tea itself I’m very much into the cookies that pair it…Last experiment I did resulted into this tea-bag-shaped cookies. Definitely an original idea to space things up a bit and to offer something a bit extravagant to your guest for tea time.

Here is how you make them.

Ingredients (makes about 30):

• 250 g all purpose flour
• 110 g powdered sugar
• 100 g unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 egg yolks
• 80 g dark chocolate

In a bowl combine flour and butter

and crumble it with a fork or your hands until it reassemble coarse meal

Sift in the powdered sugar

add the egg yolks and vanilla extract

and mix until all the ingredients are combined and you get a smooth dough. Wrap it up into plastic paper and refrigerate for about 30 min

Next up, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 7 mm thick. Cut out small rectangles (3*2 cm)

then with a knife remove the 2 top corners

and using a tooth stick (or chopstick), make a small holl in the top-center

Bake your tea-bag cookies at 180 for about 15 min or until the edges starts to get golden. Remove and let them cool down

In a microwave proof bowl melt the chocolate

and dip in each cookie about 1 cm deep

place on parchment paper and let it stand until chocolate is set

Now, grab some string and use it to hang off each tea bag your logo/picture/ guest name Serve with your preferred tea selection

Definitely a great idea for an afternoon with your girlfriends and friends
