CHOCOLATE CHAI LATTE COOKIES
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!

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.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients and equipment. This will ensure a smooth baking process.
- Freshly Brewed Chai: Use freshly brewed chai tea for the best flavor. If you don't have chai tea bags, you can make your own using ground chai spices and a tea infuser.
- Quality Chocolate: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Properly Softened Butter: Make sure the butter is properly softened at room temperature. This will help it cream together smoothly with the sugar.
- Creaming Butter and Sugar: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Gradual Addition of Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sifting Dry Ingredients: Be sure to sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the batter. This will help ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
- Mixing the Batter: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the chai tea to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Baking the Cake: Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on the size and shape of your cake pan.
- Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can create a delicious and indulgent chocolate chai latte cake that will impress your friends and family. This cake is perfect for any occasion, from a cozy afternoon tea to a special celebration. So, grab your ingredients and get ready to bake!
