Day 5.5 - Maybe I should stop being a boring granny and go out dancing while H is gone. Earl Grey Cookies Part II

A modification of Sugar and Soul's Earl Grey Cookie recipe.

Use as much tea as required to obtain the level of tea flavour you prefer. This takes a bit of trial and error, but I’ve found that the amount in the photo below creates a good balance.

Grind the tea using a paper towel and a bottle of Grey Goose (or wine bottle).

Sift the icing sugar first before measuring it out to get rid of any clumps that might’ve built up.

Salt to taste.

Lazy way to cut the cookies – roll into a log and cut into thin 1/4 inch slices.

Bake until golden brown, which is about 20-25 minutes.

They do expand, so make sure to leave enough room or freeze the dough beforehand to prevent excessive growth.

The past few days have been stressful, and I was exhausted yesterday after sitting for 4.5 hours at the salon to get my hair done (I don’t like it and I will not post photos until I get it fixed… Which is supposed to happen next next week), and going for Dine Out at the Flying Beaver with P+V, V+J, and S+J.

Today, I finally cancelled my Bikram pass, which expires near the end of February, and I can start using my Chopra 20 class pass that I purchased through Groupon (click here for link to the Groupon). I’ve always enjoyed Chopra a bit more, because it’s not as hot and the moves are more challenging.

February is already looking to be better than January.
