Cookies are both comfort food and an essential household item! Essential because these aromatic discs are the perfect teatime companion. And, these sugary and buttery delights are a handy companion to comfort us when we are celebrating good times… In short, these are must-haves in every household and best if they are freshly made at home!
To add variety to your mundane stock of cookies, try out this very exotic recipe of Earl Grey tea cookies that will add loads of oomph to your cookies selection. And, these Earl Grey tea cookies pair really well with tea.
Personally, I love chewy, buttery cookies, but given a healthy twist to this one by adding oats and whole wheat flour, in combination with regular flour, in this recipe. So, this recipe is not as buttery and chewy as you’d expect but is quite crumbly in texture, particularly if eaten fresh from the oven.
A few things that I really like about this recipe is that it is pretty easy to prepare, requires easily accessible ingredients, gets ready in practically no time, and is super easy to prepare. For this recipe, there is only one gadget that is needed to work it up, a grinder to finely grind loose Earl grey tea leaves. Personally, I recommend using a handy manual coffee grinder, which offers multiple uses in our daily cooking needs. So, you can use it to grind coffee beans or any other ingredient for that matter… To make assembling this recipe even convenient for you all, we have compiled here a list of the best, latest, and most effective manual coffee grinders available in the market.
