Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 100 g brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 190 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp chai spice mix (see directions for homemade mix)
- 150 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp whole milk powder (optional for added creaminess)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, chai spice mix, and milk powder if using, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them 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 set and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make your own chai spice mix, combine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of ground black pepper in a small bowl. Store leftovers for future baking projects!
