Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane teabag
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and powdered sugar with a paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the salt, vanilla extract and the contents of the Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane teabag (discard the bag). Mix on low speed until incorporated.
- Add the flour and corn starch, one cup at a time, and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together. Turn the dough out on to a work surface and gently knead a few times, then roll out into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap the roll in parchment or wax paper and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. Dough can be frozen at this point and stored for a later date.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the parchment paper from the dough slice into 1/8-1/4 inch rounds and place on a baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving platter or storage container. Cookies will keep covered at room temperature for 1 week.
