Ingredients
- 2 sticks Unsalted Butter
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1-½ Tablespoon Chai Latte Mix From Trader Joes, Or Any Ground Chai Tea
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- Powdered Sugar, For Coating Or Dusting Cookies
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325ºF.
Cut butter into cubes and place in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, vanilla and chai tea and blend using a pastry blender. Add flour and salt and continue to blend in the same manner until mixture begins to form a dough that you can press together with your hands.
Using a cookie scoop for even balls, scoop out dough and roll into a smooth ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet or one lined with parchment. I used a 1 1/2-tablespoon scoop.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool for 3 minutes on cookie sheet after removing from the oven.
Place a few cookies in a bowl of powdered sugar at a time and roll until coated with powdered sugar. Shake off excess and place on tray or plate. Continue with this process until all cookies are coated.
You can dust the tops of cookies with more powdered sugar using a sifter if you like. I like to do this because sometimes the sugar melts a bit from the heat and doesn’t look very pretty but they will taste delicious either way! Enjoy!
