Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Taking a measuring tablespoon, scoop out cookie dough the size of the tablespoon and roll into a ball. Using your thumb, gently press the center to flatten a bit and place on the tray.
Do the same for the rest of the dough leaving at least an 1 1/2 inches between each dough ball.
Bake for 9-11 minutes until golden brown on the edges and remove from the oven.
Cool for 5-10 minutes and serve.
Notes
Remember to make sure your ingredients are room temperature. They will incorporate much better and create a wonderful well mixed dough.
To keep your Southern Tea Cakes tasting just as amazing as the day they were baked, store them in an airtight container at room temperature; they’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
If you want to preserve their delightful texture for a bit longer, you can also freeze the tea cakes; just make sure they’re tightly wrapped and they’ll be good for up to three months.
