Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, SkinnyFit ZzzTox, and salt, until the tea is just spotted throughout the flour.
  3. Add the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and butter.
  4. Pulse together until a dough is formed. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on how powerful your food processor is. (Make sure the dough is not crumbly)
  5. Place the dough for the tea shortbread cookies on a sheet of plastic wrap, and roll into a log, about 2 1/2-inches in diameter.
  6. Tightly twist each end of wrap, and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  7. Slice the log into 1/3-inch thick disks. Place a baking sheets about 2 inches apart
  8. Bake until the edges are lightly brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and cool to room temperature.

Floral Decoration (Optional)

*For the decor flowers you will need certified edible flowers (not sprayed with any chemicals during the growing process)

  1. Press and flatten the flowers using a book.
  2. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough until the dough is about ⅓” inch thick after it’s chilled.
  3. Stamp out your cookies with a cookie cutter and artfully place your flowers onto the dough.
  4. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the flowers (while they are in the dough) and gently roll the flowers so they press into the dough.
  5. Continue baking as instructed above.
