This months theme in the Creative Cookie exchange, was Wake up from winter with tea or coffee. I was originally going to make these cookies with green tea but couldn't fine any that I needed for cooking, so added coffee instead but thats OK as I love coffee flavoured cookies and these ones taste great.
