Ingredients

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 2 Tbsp. loose Earl Grey tea leaves
3. 1/2 tsp. salt
4. 3/4 cup sugar
5. 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
6. 1 cup butter, room temperature

Instructions

1. Place flour, tea, salt and sugar in a food processor and pulse a few times. The tea should be spotted throughout the mixture.
2. Add the vanilla and butter and pulse until dough begins to form.
3. Gather the dough, place on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll until it's 2" or so in diameter. Twist the ends and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 375 F.
5. Remove the chilled dough and slice it into 1/4" thick discs. Bake until edges are just beginning to brown, about 12 minutes.
6. Let sit for 5 minutes, and then cool completely on wire racks
