Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 50 g Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 150 g All-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 flour blend)
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground cardamom
- 0.5 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp Ground cloves
- 0.25 tsp Ground allspice
- 30 g Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour (regular or gluten-free), baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch, if desired.
Serve and enjoy your chai spice cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
