Shortbread tea cookies! These cookies are a dream, but exporting these photos was a nightmare. But here we are with screenshot versions…don’t judge, but my Lightroom isn’t working well…so here we are. And I’m only crying a little…or a LOT.
This was supposed to be a collaboration with other bloggers for the #VirtualCoffeeParty2018. You could create a recipe with coffee or tea, then share each others post…and our love of coffee/tea. So I’m made my fave shortbread cookies and infused the butter with my favorite Firepot tea.
So, with these issues, I DID miss the deadline…but I’m still sharing their recipes cuz they’re awesome bloggers and recipes and you’ll love them. The lovely TermiNator Kitchen though has added me after the fact, so hopefully you can catch me on their sites too! So check out their recipes here and my recipe at the bottom of this post.
