Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies
The one where I shared my secret with you :) well, it wasn’t much of a secret. I got tired of brewing dozens of teabags and reducing it to a spoonful, that would leave only a hit of Earl Grey notes. I wanted a BAM of earl grey. So I found out Earl Grey is actually made mostly out of a citrus fruit called Bergamot. And then found Bergamot extract on Amazon, and out came these cookies. perfect for tea or snacking. enjoy.
