Yield about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey tea leaves
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup sanding sugar, for garnish

Steps:

Combine the all-purpose flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, almond flour, tea leaves, orange zest, vanilla, salt and almond extract in a food processor and pulse just until a dough forms. Turn out on a lightly floured piece of plastic wrap and gently press into a 1-inch-thick disc. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 3 1/2-inch scalloped cutter or desired cutter. Sprinkle the top of the cookies with sanding sugar. Bake just until the edges are lightly golden, 7 to 12 minutes depending on the size of the cookies. Let cool on the sheet pans.
