Raisin Tea Cakes

These cake-y little gems are the result of me trying to find a way to use up some egg whites that I had sitting in the fridge. I have a jar of saffron infused water in my fridge all the time, but if you don't just soak a pinch of crushed saffron threads in 2 teaspoons of hot water and let it cool down.




Raisin Tea Cakes
Makes 16 cookies

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 teaspoon saffron water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup raisins
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Whip the butter until it turns lighter in colour.
  3. Beat in the eggs, saffron water and vanilla. 
  4. On low speed, add the sugar and flour until well combined, then stir in the raisins with a spatula.
  5. Use a medium cookie scoop or a teaspoon to drop batter onto the prepared pan about 2" apart.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. The tops don't really change colour so just keep your eye on them. Press one with your finger and if it feels spongy they're done.
