Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 Chai tea bags
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, chai tea leaves (cut open the tea bags and use the contents), cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
