Tea Bag Cookies

Impress your friends the next time you invite them over for tea with these chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies. Although tea bag cookies are easy to make, they do take a bit of work ... but they're so pretty, they're worth the effort!

Prepare the butter dough, shape the cookies to look like tea bags, bake them, dip them in chocolate, add baker's thread or kitchen thread and labels to complete the teabag cookie look.

If you do not have a cookie cutter, cut the dough into rectangles with a knife and the top corners. Before baking, use a straw or decorative tip n. ° 5 to make a hole in the top of each cookie.

You can store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days. You can also make cookies in advance, cut out shapes and freeze them. When you need them, you can bake them frozen. ;)
