I have been wanting to use my earl grey lavender tea to flavor a dessert for a while now.... and what goes with shortbread more than tea itself?! the dough never came together and was a crumbly mess... after mixing and mixing I finally gave up and just wrapped it in saran wrap, stuck it in the fridge, and hoped for the best. The next day it was firmed nicely and i baked away. result was a little bit tough, so for the next batch i knew not to mix too much. so I tried again, this time flavored with nutella. This was more doughy because of the extra moisture which made it easy to roll out, but I made it a little thin which resulted in crisp cookies as it was baked a little too long. luckily both were delicious and still goes perfectly with a steamy cup of tea...mmmmmmm |
i am an eater. i heart treats of all shapes and sizes... sweet, savory, spicy, and especially sweeties. while forever searching for a yummy treat, a baby baker has been born. hope you enjoy as i document my first trials in capturing treat after treat.
