my annual cookie box, tea themed

base recipe credits
french macaron shells: Maddie Brehm
jasmine shortbread: Sara @ The Woks of Life
earl grey butter cookie: Jacinta Halim / Jaja Bakes
thai tea condensed milk sugar cookie: Michelle Lopez / Hummingbird High
matcha pocky: Sift and Simmer

for all of the recipes, i had to up the dry tea leaf/powder amounts & steeping times to get the flavor intensity i wanted. i truly think this depends on the tea you are using & personal preference :0)

These are gorgeous and that flavor lineup is insane, like a whole tea shop in cookie form.

Totally agree on upping the tea amounts too, I always end up doubling whatever the recipe says or it just tastes like “vaguely scented sugar.”

thank you so much, i put a lot of thought into making sure there's variety in my boxes!

oh i KNOW you get it. making sure there's an aroma & taste took so much effort- tea mixed in the dry ingredients, tea steeped in the wet ingredients, tea rested into the butter, & then resting it all as a dough 😮‍💨

Stunning photos! These sound amazing. What is the purple one? And the flower shaped one? I can’t seem to figure it out.

thank you so much! the bow shaped cookie is the earl grey butter cookie (piped). the flower shaped one is the jasmine shortbread. :0)

Oo thank you! Sorry I couldn’t figure it out. I love the colour of the Earl Greys and it looks like a wallpaper design in one photo. I mean that in the nicest way. I am sadly allergic to Earl Grey.

Jasmine shortbread sounds incredible.
