Ingredients
- For the cookie dough
- 250 grams butter
- 3 slightly heaped tablespoons of East Frisian Tea leaves
- Vanilla bean (seeded)
- 120 grams sugar
- 220 grams Pastry flour
Preparation steps
For the cookie dough, melt the butter in a pan. Add the tea leaves and vanilla to the melted butter and simmer for 3 minutes. Strain the butter mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and let the butter solidify.
Add the sugar and flour to the solidified butter and process until crumbly with the dough hook of the hand mixer. Knead with hands to a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 4-5 mm thick and cut out leaf-shaped cookies (about 5 cm) (approximately 2 inches) using a leaf cookie cutter with wavy margin. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk the egg yolk with milk and brush the cookies with it. Make a small whole in the center of each cookie with a wooden stick.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 175°C (fan: 155°C, gas mark 2) (approximately 350°F) for about 12-15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet and transfer carefully to plates (the cookies are very crumbly). Serve the cookies with tea or coffee.
