Lemon Honey Chamomile Cookies
Makes about 50 cookies

2¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
5 chamomile tea bags or 4 tablespoons loose leaf tea
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 2 large lemons
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons honey
½ cup sugar for rolling cookies

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

If using loose leaf tea bags, food process the chamomile tea until it is fine. I also sifted it through a strainer to get rid of any larger pieces that wouldn’t grind.

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, finely ground tea, and salt in a medium bowl.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in egg, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey.

Slowly add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.

Drop teaspoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about an inch apart.

Bake 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned.
