Sugar Chai Cookies
Makes:
30 Cookies
Ingredients
•1 cup butter - at room temperature
•1 1/4 cups sugar + 1/4 for dipping
•1 egg, room temperature
•1 tsp vanilla extract
•2 1/4 cups of sifted flour
•4 bags of chai tea - cut bags, use dry content
•1/2 tsp baking powder
•1/4 tsp baking soda
•1/2 tsp salt
Tips:
• Ingredients perform better at room temperature unless the recipe indicates otherwise.
• I prefer using Mexican vanilla extract; if you're using an artificial extract, make sure to double the quantity when following my recipes.
Preparation
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• In a bowl or mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and the contents of chai tea bags.
• Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
• Scoop cookie dough, shape into balls, roll in the sugar for dipping, and place them on the baking sheet. Ensure there is a 3-inch gap between each ball.
• Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to turn light golden.
Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cookie tray to cool completely.
• Enjoy your cookies and store any leftovers in a freezer-safe container.
