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. Step 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. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 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. Step 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.
