London Fog Shortbread Cookies

The Story

What is a "London Fog"? It's an Earl Grey tea latte with vanilla, and it's delicious. It makes a grey, cold, rainy day better. Ask for one on your next trip to Starbucks; most baristas know how to make it. (Or ask for "a grande Earl Grey tea latte with 2 pumps of vanilla") Here, we have a new take on an old classic: shortbread. This pairs well with a soothing black tea to calm those nerves after a busy day at the office.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225g) butter
  • 2/3 cup (85g) powdered sugar
  • 1 3/4 cup (220g) flour
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 vanilla bean split and scraped (or 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste)
  • 2 tbsp Earl Grey Tea leaves

Instructions
