Step 2
Add the vanilla, 1 teaspoon water, and the butter. Pulse together until a dough is formed. Divide the dough in half. Place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a 12-inch log, about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Slice each log into disks, 1/3 inch thick. Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until the edges are just brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

I love these cookies, so does my family. It's like an Earl Grey tea flavored shortbread. Great for the holidays or anytime. The last time I made them, I needed a bit more water to make a dough, but that's variable due to humidity, etc. If you like Earl Grey tea, or even if you don't, try these!

Boy, if you like Earl Grey tea, make these immediately! *grin* They could do with a teensy bit less salt, but other than that... I used tea that was already pretty crushed up, so I just mixed the ingredients in a mixer as per usual. I'd bet they'd work just as well with other flavors of tea, too.
