London Fog Cookies

I decided to try these London Fog Cookies before Christmas. They were so good that I made a big batch to give to everyone at work! (I work in a pretty small firm) They are tasty, and the 'perfect biscuit to dunk in a cup of tea' according to one taster!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup confectioner's (icing) sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (If you only have salted, omit the salt later)
• 1 egg
• 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon Earl Grey tea leaves (cut open one teabag and measure)
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine the granulated sugar with the icing sugar.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter with the vanilla sugar mixture. Add egg and vanilla and mix until blended well.

3. Add the flour, tea leaves, baking powder and salt and mix to combine into a soft dough.

4. On a clean work surface, roll the dough into a log. Roll the log tightly in cling film and refrigerate for at least two hours before baking. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet. Slice chilled dough into ¼-inch thick slices. Bake until the edges are light brown and the middles set, about 6-8 minutes. Be aware that the bottoms will brown long before the sides or tops do, so don't over bake!

6. Cool on a wire rack, and enjoy!

Let me know how they turn out for you! Adapted from http://devour-blog.com/2014/03/05/london-fog-sugar-cookies/
