Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. corn starch
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 lemon (for zest)
2 packets of earl gray tea
Instructions:
Leave butter out to soften.
Preheat oven to 350°F or 175°C.
Cream together softened butter and 1/2 cup of sugar to make a frosting-like mixture; then add one egg and your vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine your flour, baking powder, and earl gray tea. Fold this into your wet mixture; once you have a dough-like consistency, form into a ball and roll out evenly. Place to the side.
Using a microplane, grate the skin of your lemon until you get about a handful of zest.
In a separate pot, add the rest of your sugar (1/4 cup), one egg, corn starch, and the handful of lemon zest. Mix all together.
On the stovetop, cook mixture on low until thickened.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment, roll out and plop down small circle from your cookie dough.
Use the back of a spoon to create shallow divots in the middle of each cookie. Then fill with your lemon mixture.
Bake for ~10 minutes.
Transfer cookies to wire rack and allow to cool.
(Optional) Once cool, lightly cover the cookies in a dusting of powdered sugar.
Voila! You’ve made your very own Lemon Bar Cookies!
