Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon chamomile tea leaves (dried) Dried chamomile tea leaves.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Slowly add the flour, cornstarch, chamomile tea leaves, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until just combined; the dough should be crumbly yet hold its shape.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a log (about 2 inches in diameter), wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, remove the dough and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Cookies can be frozen before baking by wrapping the shaped log in plastic wrap and placing it in a freezer-safe bag.
