11 Jasmine Tea Christmas Cookies Floral Recipes

Jasmine Tea Infused Sugar Cookies

Jasmine Tea Infused Sugar Cookies are a delightful twist on classic sugar cookies, incorporating the delicate floral notes of jasmine tea. These cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a charming treat for any occasion, providing a subtly aromatic flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the cookie dough.

Cooking Steps Instructions

1. Prepare Jasmine Tea: Begin by brewing 2 tablespoons of jasmine tea leaves in ¼ cup of hot water. Let it steep for about 5-7 minutes to extract the flavor, then strain out the leaves and let the tea cool slightly.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, along with the cooled jasmine tea. Mix until well combined.
6. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as there are no dry flour pockets.
7. Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can also lightly flatten them with the back of a fork or your hand for a more even shape.
8. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look slightly undercooked, and that’s okay; they will firm up as they cool.
9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Optional Dusting: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar if desired for an elegant finish.

10. Citrus Jasmine Tea Macarons

Citrus Jasmine Tea Macarons are a delicate and elegant French pastry that perfectly combines the floral notes of jasmine tea with invigorating citrus flavors. These bite-sized treats have a crisp exterior with a chewy interior, making them delightful to enjoy during the holiday season or whenever you’re in the mood for something special. Filled with a zesty citrus buttercream, these macarons are sure to impress your guests and elevate your dessert table.

Cooking Steps Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. You can draw circles (about 1.5 inches in diameter) as a guide to guarantee uniform macaron sizes.
2. Infuse the Egg Whites: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the jasmine tea leaves. Let it steep for about 5 minutes, then strain the tea and let it cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and let them sit for 30 minutes to reach room temperature; this will help them whip up better.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar. Pulse until finely ground and well mixed. Shift the mixture into a bowl and set aside.
4. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, add the room-temperature egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
5. Add Flavorings: Gently fold the cooled jasmine tea, lemon zest, and orange zest into the whipped egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the egg white mixture. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until just combined. Look for a smooth batter that flows like lava but isn’t too runny.
7. Pipe Macarons: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheets, using the drawn circles as a guide. Tap the baking sheets on the countertop to release any air bubbles and to help the macarons settle.
8. Rest the Macarons: Let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until the tops are dry to the touch and a slight skin forms.
9. Preheat Oven: While the macarons are resting, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
10. Bake: Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. The macarons should have risen to form “feet,” and the tops should not be sticky. Once baked, let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
11. Make Citrus Buttercream: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add lemon or orange juice and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
12. Assemble Macarons: Pair the macaron shells of similar sizes. Pipe a small amount of citrus buttercream on the flat side of one shell, then sandwich it with another shell on top. Repeat until all macarons are assembled.
13. Serve: Let the assembled macarons sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Bring them to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your Citrus Jasmine Tea Macarons!

5. Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
