Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup chai tea mix
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
2 eggs
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup white sugar for decoration

Steps:

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 1/3 cups sugar, and chai tea mix until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; blend into the creamed mixture until all of the dry has been absorbed. Cover the dough, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll the cookie dough into walnut sized balls, and roll the balls in sugar. Place the cookies onto greased cookie sheets about 3 inches apart, and flatten slightly using the tines of a fork.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, just until the edges begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

CHAI TEA COOKIES

Chai Tea Cookies image

If you love chai tea, these cookies are for you! The word 'chai' or 'masala chai' is a catch-all for a spiced black tea drunk in great quantities throughout Southwest Asia and parts of Africa. Any bagged spiced black tea would be lovely in this recipe - cut them open and use the mix inside. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon chai tea mix
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

Combine flour, white sugar, powdered sugar, tea mix, and salt in a food processor or small chopper. Pulse until tea is pulverized and distributed throughout the dry ingredients. Mix in cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, and cloves. Add butter and vanilla extract. Pulse together just until a rough dough is formed.
Scrape out dough onto a piece of wax or parchment paper. Form dough into an 8-inch log. Cover with paper and roll the log until smooth. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Use a sharp knife to slice the chilled log of dough into 1/3-inch-thick pieces. Place on the baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are just beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for organic butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh ground spices.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to incorporate air into the dough. This will help the cookies be tender and crisp.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them firm up and prevent them from breaking.

Chai butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their warm and inviting spices, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
