Chai Spiced Sugar Cookies
Delicious holiday sugar cookies, with a little twist!
Servings: 32 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 egg
- 1 vanilla bean or 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a bowl, mix together sugar and spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom). Reserve 1/4 cup and set aside
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix butter and remaining sugar mixture until fluffy. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a bowl and an electric hand mixer
- Next, add in the egg and the vanilla and mix until fully combined
- Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix until just combined
- Using a cookie scooper, take about 1-2 tbsp of dough and roll into a ball and cover in the sugar mixture that was set aside
- Place on baking tray lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until fully cooked and enjoy!
Notes
- I used a Madagascar vanilla bean in this recipe, but you can replace with 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract if you don't have fresh vanilla
- I baked the cookies for 10 minutes but depending on your oven, timing may vary from 8-11 minutes
- Feel free to make each one larger by adding more dough, but these will be cookies that are about 2-2.5 inches wide
