DIRTY CHAI EARTHQUAKE COOKIES



Dirty Chai Earthquake Cookies image

In case you're wondering about the name of this cakey, chewy-edged cookie, which nearly explodes through its sugary crust, it's a nod to a coffee bar creation in which a shot of espresso tops off a cup of masala chai, the Indian spiced tea. It's right at home on a traditional holiday cookie plate, thanks to its festive cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves. Feel free to add a little freshly grated nutmeg, if you're so inclined. A strong coffee flavor adds nuance; black pepper lends a spicy kick; and malted milk powder, browned butter and brown sugar all contribute toasty warm notes to this craveable treat.

Categories     snack, cookies and bars, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon finely ground espresso (not instant espresso) or finely ground coffee
1/2 cup/115 grams cold unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons malted milk powder, such as Carnation brand
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
2 large eggs
3/4 cup/165 grams light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or paste
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar, for rolling
1/2 cup/50 grams confectioners' sugar, sifted, for rolling

Steps:

  • Put espresso or coffee in a small metal bowl. Put butter in a small saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat, swirling and stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until nutty brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the butter to the bowl with the espresso and stir to combine. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the cookie.
  • Combine the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine thoroughly and set aside.
  • Combine eggs and light brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well combined and slightly paler, about 3 minutes, scraping bowl as needed.
  • Add the vanilla and the butter mixture, then mix on low speed until combined. Add the flour mixture, then mix again on low until combined. Transfer dough to a resealable glass or plastic container, and chill thoroughly, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar into two separate bowls. Use a small cookie scoop to portion dough into heaping tablespoons (about 25 grams each). Roll into smooth balls and drop a few at a time into the bowl of granulated sugar, rolling to coat. Transfer to the bowl with the confectioners' sugar. Roll gently, coating well, then transfer to a parchment- or silicone mat-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies. Place in freezer until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Bake until cookies are golden underneath but still quite tender (they will firm up as they cool), 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheets and transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

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.

CHOCOLATE CHAI LATTE COOKIES



Chocolate Chai Latte Cookies image

Adapted from a recipe I found in a Land O'Lakes holiday cookie mag. Unusual but good (calls for a cake mix as the cookie base). They went over pretty well with my favorite group of culinary guinea pigs, my coworkers!

Provided by Muffin Goddess

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h10m

Yield 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (18 1/4 ounce) butter recipe chocolate cake mix
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (see note below)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk (I use skim)
1 cup milk chocolate chips (can use semisweet if you prefer)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (see note below)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 -5 teaspoons milk (can use water instead)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients in the cookie list except for the chips. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well mixed.
  • Stir in chips.
  • Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls (I use a small cookie scoop). Place about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350F for about 9 to 11 minutes, or until tops are set (slight underbaking will provide more fudgy chewy cookies).
  • Cool cookies on baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Remove cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • While cookies are cooling, combine the dry drizzle ingredients in a small bowl. Add milk or water gradually, mixing well between additions, until you achieve the consistency you like.
  • Drizzle over cooled cookies. Allow drizzled cookies to dry fully before packing cookies for storage or transport.
  • NOTE: In place of the spices in the cookies, you can use 3 tbs. of instant chai latte mix (any flavor).
  • NOTE: You can substitute 1 1/2 cups white chocolate/semisweet swirled chips for the separate types, if you prefer.

1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
9 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
Nonpareils, for decorating (optional)
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan

  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the white chocolate, then return to the oven until the chocolate softens, about 45 seconds. Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate into a smooth layer. Top with nonpareils. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, then lift out of the pan using the parchment; cut into squares.

It's more about choosing a good brand than a recipe. But here's the authentic way you would find it at an Indian restaurant. You can steam the milk first if you have an espresso machine or a milk steamer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chai tea for the best flavor. Look for a tea that is made with real spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.
  • If you don't have chai tea on hand, you can make your own by brewing black tea with chai spices. To make 1 cup of chai tea, combine 1 teaspoon of black tea leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger in a tea infuser. Steep the tea leaves in 1 cup of boiling water for 5-7 minutes, then strain the tea into a cup.
  • Use butter that is softened to room temperature. This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Chai latte cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a warm and spicy flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make chai latte cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family.
