Show your "Mum" some love and bake her a batch of these sweet tea cookies for Mother's Day. These cookies are scrumptious to nibble with your tea and in between teatimes. Given to me by a dear grad school friend many years ago, this recipe has always been my "go to" sugar cut out cookie recipe. You can decorate the cookies as you wish as shown in the picture above or serve them as is as shown in the picture below. They are equally delicious either way. Will you be sharing tea with someone on Mother's Day?

ReplyDeleteI just love tea cookies and my mom also like it. I think it'd be best gift for moms.
ReplyDeleteIt tastes good, but the only part i was confused with was the size of the cookies. Just in case anyone was wondering They should be about the size of a tablespoon.
ReplyDeleteWow, quiet unique for a cookies, I will try it too. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great recipe! My oven runs hotter than usual, so I baked the cookies at 350 for 11 minutes. I used ingredients and followed instructions as stated.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute..I would love to bake my mom a cookie like this..Very cute and surprising. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese were very simple to make, and great because they didn't need to be chilled. They were chewy, flavorful, and they tasted very similar to refrigerated dough (but without the preservatives, corn syrup and hydrogenated oils!)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to put together a gift basket of teas and cookies for someone who did something very nice for me. I don't know the person, but I know they are a tea lover and really know a lot about tea.
ReplyDeleteI hardly know anything about what makes a tea good or bad, and I'm not sure what their tastes are. I also don't know what types of cookies go well with tea.
Dedicate Tea Cookies to moms on Mothers Day is fabulous idea!!
ReplyDeleteThese were delicious! I could, however, tell from the beginning that they'd need more lemon, so I used probably a tablespoon of lemon extract . . . seems like a lot but they were so good!
