Chocolate Chai Tea Cookies

I'm a bit behind with my updates. I've been baking and have the pictures to prove it! I'm hoping to catch up in the near future. Until then, I shall satiate you with this.

I've got a get-together tomorrow with Anne and Jacolyn the Vegan, and I normally bring some baked goods or other when we meet at someone's house. Was going to make peppermint mocha cookies, but after I looked at the ingredients, I realized I couldn't make them vegan since I didn't have any soy milk. I decided to make tea cookies instead.

I went through my cupboard and decided to use the cocoa chai tea for the cookies. Then I thought why not add cocoa to the recipe for the full chocolate flavor?

What I Used
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
6 tea bags of Good Earth's Cocoa Chai
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup soy margarine, cut into pieces

Pulse together all the dry ingredients in a food processor until the tea leaves are pulverized. Add the vanilla, 2 teaspoons of water, and the margarine. Pulse together until a dough is formed.

The dough has been formed into logs and are sitting in the fridge. Planning to bake them in the morning before meeting up with the ladies.
