COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Chai Cookies

  1. Using a hand mixer combine butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg, molasses, and vanilla. Mix together until well-combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and spices until combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until well-combined.
  4. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 375º.
  6. Remove dough from fridge and form into 1″ balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated—the thicker the layer the better, because the powdered sugar will remain more visible after baking. Place balls on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until cookies have cracked but still look slightly under-baked.
  7. Remove from oven and let cookies cool for at least 10 minutes. Enjoy.
