Earl Grey Cookies

Between the flurry of classes, amount of studying, and my current attempt to be accepted into medical, I have neglected my duty to post recipes. For this I am ashamed.

Since I do have a lot going on currently, I decided to go with something simple. As a tea aficionado, I wanted to incorporate tea into cookies. So I ripped open some Earl Grey tea bags, and emptied them into a dough and went with it. They turned out wonderfully, and have a pleasant mild tea flavor to them.

Feeling fancy and want to throw a tea party, or just participate in high tea? These cookies would make a lovely addition if I do say so myself.
