Well, today is the 1st of several tea related posts I'll be doing -- in preparation for Mother's Day and a tea-related gift I'm giving to my mom.
So....to kick off the tea posts, I'm starting with
Tea Bag Cookies
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
10 T. butter, room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
In a bowl, beat butter until smooth and creamy.
Add sugar and vanilla and mix till smooth.
Gently stir in flower mixture just until incorporated.
Divide dough in 1/2 and roll 1st half to 1/4 in. thickness
Cut rectangles and then snip off top edges to give the "tea bag look"
Place on baking sheet (lined with wax paper).
Poke hole for string with a toothpick.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
(NOTE: I added a bit more melted butter to my dough when it became to crumbly to roll out)
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Dip bottoms in melted chocolate
When chocolate dries, Thread string through hole in cookie.
Affix tea bag tag to string (I used white crochet thread) with staple
Serve at your next tea party or gift to a friend!
I'm including several FREE tea bag tags to tie on your cookies.
ENJOY!

How LOVELY!! thank you for the tags and the sweet idea.
This is an amazingly delightful idea! Thank you so much for the free tags!
Great idea : ) Thanks for the recipe!!!
You probably heard me squealing from NYC when I saw those cookies.I can't wait to try them.I collect teapots, and teacups and have tea parties with my nieces. Thanks for sharing the recipe..Can't wait to try them.
Oh yes! I did see this on pinterest and thought it was so sweet - except I'm not supposed to be eating such things anymore. Drat! Thanks for this idea, though. Perhaps I can do something that is tea related and not quite so stressful on my digestive track!
Glad my roof raising blessed you - more to come on that on Pink Saturday.
Joy!

These are just SO cute, Esther. Great job. I love it when I see a great idea and then make it a reality for myself as well. It's so satisfying. These will make a great treat for gift-giving. Thanks for sharing them with us in this week's challenge at Word Art Wednesday.
