Time 1h30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons vanilla
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In large bowl, beat butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar with electric mixer on low speed until well blended.
  • Stir in remaining cookie ingredients.
  • Shape dough by tablespoonfuls into balls.
  • On an ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 1 1/2 inches apart.

  • Cool on cooling rack 5 minutes.
  • Fluff up coating mixture with wire whip and roll cookies in mixture again.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, flavorful spices. The spices are what give chai cookies their characteristic flavor, so it's important to use fresh, high-quality spices.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

Chai-spiced cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their warm, inviting spices and soft, chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give chai-spiced cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
