How to Make Chai Tea Cookies

Make Chai Tea Cookies using Chai Tea bags! This refreshing, tasty and unique cookie will satisfy any Chai-tea lover!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup honey
• 4 bags chai tea bags
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon strong chai tea (brewed and cooled)
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter and honey until smooth. Empty the contents of the tea bags into the mixture and discard the bags. Mix until well blended.

2. Stir in the egg yolk and brewed chai tea. Blend in the flour and baking powder.

3. Divide into 3 sections, roll into 'snakes', wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice the cookies and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

5. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are dry, and the edges begin to brown lightly. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

6. Ice the cookies using icing sugar and strong, brewed chai tea. I couldn't tell you the ratio to make the icing, but play around with it :) If you make too much you can eat it! Mmm!

Tips & Warnings

• I made up these cookies when I couldn't find a recipe for chai cookies that used up the ingredients I had on hand. These cookies are a bit different as they have the contents of tea bags in them. I would suggest blending the tea bags in a coffee grinder to help make it finer.
