Chai-Infused Spice Cookies
Cookie Dough Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Instant Chai Latte Mix
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons Instant Chai Latte Mix
Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla and mix until well combined. Mix in flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the chai latte mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
3. Stir together 1/4 cup white sugar and 2 teaspoons of the chai latte mix in a shallow bowl.
4. Shape dough into 1 tablespoon-sized balls. Dough will be slightly sticky, but should still roll into a ball. Roll each ball in chai spice-sugar mixture until coated. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
5. Bake cookies in the preheated oven until they begin to crack on top and look slightly set, 10 to 13 minutes. Cool cookies on pan for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pairs perfectly with a cup of chai or any of your favorite teas!
