Tips:

  • For a more intense chai flavor, use a strong black tea, such as Assam or English Breakfast. Avoid using herbal teas, as they will not have the same flavor profile.
  • If you don't have cardamom pods, you can use ground cardamom. Just be sure to use half the amount, as ground cardamom is more concentrated.
  • The dough for these cookies is very soft, so it's important to chill it before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies. They should be baked until they are just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These chai-spiced almond cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their warm and cozy flavors, these cookies are sure to put you in the holiday spirit.
