Earl Gray tea is one of my favorites. The aroma from the Bergamot always makes me calm and with a bit of milk and sugar its a perfect way to start the day.  Then come the cookies and who doesn’t love a good cookie or biscuit with their tea? Using brewed tea , crushed almonds and a bit of lemon extract really brought out the sweetness in these cookies.

There is always time to start or end your day with a cup of tea and some slightly sweet cookies. Try these out and let me know what you think of this quick and easy recipe.
