Ingredients

  • teaspoon tea leaves
  • ¾ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups flour

Instructions

  • If coconut oil has liquified, place it in the fridge for approximately 30 minutes until solidified.
  • Crush tea leaves, if they are too coarse.
  • Pour two teaspoons of hot water over the tea, set aside to seep.
  • Break up the solidified coconut oil with a spoon. Add to a bowl, along with the sugar. Using an electric mixer, mix until completely blended.
  • Add tea leaves and vanilla, and mix to combine.
  • Stir salt into the flour, and add to the mixing bowl in increments. Continue to mix until the dough comes together.
  • Place the dough on a strip of saran-wrap and form into a log. Roll the wrapped log and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Slice solid log in half, then each log into ¼" slices.
  • Place twelve slices on a silicone mat covered cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown along the edges. Cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
