Time 1h30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

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.

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

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality chai tea blend for the best flavor. Look for a blend that contains a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • To make the cookies extra chewy, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Be careful not to over-bake the cookies. They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. If you over-bake them, they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have any chai tea blend on hand, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
