Chai Latte Cookies

This last Saturday was my final baking day before Christmas. I spent eleven hours baking and baking, until I had enough cookies to fill a plate for many of our close friends–and then some! It was very tiring, but I always enjoy the process of creating homemade gifts. It feels like you’re offering your loved ones a little piece of yourself! My new favorite cookie recipe this season is one I’ve been working on for a while, Chai Latte Cookies. These little chai cookies are ultra tender with a creamy spice flavor and a dollop of cardamom vanilla frosting inside. Mmmmmmmmm. Maybe it will become YOUR new favorite cookie. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to ALL!

Recipe Tips

Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly. This allows the sugar crystal to break down into the butter, making the cookies light and tender. Proper creaming usually take 3-5 minutes. It should look lighter in color and very smooth. Be sure to measure the ingredients carefully, especially the flour. Flour should be stirred and fluffed in the bag, then scooped into the measuring cups. Level the top of each cup before pouring the flour into the bowl. *Since American bakers don’t usually measure ingredients by weight, this is the best method for ensuring the proper amount of flour. Too much flour create dry dense cookies. Roll dough balls then slightly press the balls into disks before baking. Make sure the cookie dough disks are thick. This will create uniform round cookies with a gentle dome top.
