Earl Grey or Orange Zest Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate

I was inspired by Claire Robinson’s Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies. Using her recipe, I made some delicious cookies. 

Cup of tea and Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies

Although I love traditional, crumbly shortbread, I also really liked the texture of Robinson’s recipe. It’s less crumbly, slightly soft, and still very buttery.  So, I experimented with it. My orange zest shortbread variation with chocolate was a crowd-pleaser, too.

Which tea would you pair with it? I bet a strong cup of East Frisian Tea would be delightful.
