Chamomile Tea Cookies

Chamomile for cookies sounds unusual, but why not use a common tea plant for delicious dessert treats?  We think Peter Rabbit would have added these cookies to his tea party in a heartbeat! 

  • 1/4 cup dried chamomile flowers                      
  • 1/2 cup softened butter                      
  • 1 cup sugar    
  • 2 eggs                                                                                
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract                         
  • 1 3/4 cup flour

Carefully chop the chamomile blossoms and set aside.  Cream the butter and sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.  Stir in the flour and chamomile.  Drop by scant teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
