Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the Cookies:
2 1/4 Cup flour
1 Teaspoon baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon salt
2 Teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 Teaspoon ginger
1/4 Teaspoon cloves
1/8 Teaspoon cardamom
1/8 Teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 Cup butter, softened
1/2 Cup sugar

2 egg yolks
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Cup eggnog
For the Frosting:
1 Cup confectioner's sugar
2 Tablespoon butter, softened
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon eggnog
1/4 Teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Step 1 Preheat oven to 325. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat. Step 2 In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and black pepper. Set aside. Step 3 In the bowl of a stand mixer, or with an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Add in egg yolks and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Carefully beat in eggnog. Step 4 Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Step 5 Drop by heaping teaspoon full onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bottoms just start to turn golden brown. Step 6 Immediately transfer cookies to a paper towel covered flat surface. Allow to cool. Step 7 Prepare frosting while cookies are cooling. Beat together confectioner's sugar, butter, 1 tbsp eggnog and nutmeg until smooth. Add remaining teaspoon of eggnog to thin out the frosting. Step 8 Frost cooled cookies and serve.

Tips:

  • To easily grate the butter, place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes before grating. This will make it firm and easier to work with.
  • If you don't have a microplane grater, you can use a regular grater with the smallest holes. Just be careful not to grate your fingers!
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are both at room temperature before starting. This will help them combine smoothly and create a creamy frosting.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • If you want a stronger chai flavor, you can add more chai tea powder or extract. Just be careful not to add too much, or the frosting will become bitter.
  • This frosting can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or other desserts. It can also be used as a filling for pies or tarts.

Conclusion:

Chai buttercream frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to elevate any dessert. With its unique and flavorful blend of chai spices, this frosting is sure to impress your friends and family.
