Chai Snickerdoodles

Why make regular snickerdoodle cookies when you could have these spiced chai snickerdoodles instead? Perfectly paired with your favorite hot beverage.

Snickerdoodles are a pretty great cookie all year round, but in an attempt to make it a little special for the holidays I decided to literally spice up the coating a bit more and made them chai spiced! They certainly do not suck.

Dare I recommend serving these with a hot mug of homemade vanilla chai? Or a cinnamon hot chocolate? Heck, gift the homemade mix of either with a bag of these cookies to friends or family.

Ingredients

COOKIES

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to almost room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

COATING

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Combine coating ingredients in a shallow bowl.
  4. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and roll in the spiced sugar coating, shaking off any excess. Place on prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until edges of cookies are just starting to brown and centers are set. Let cool on sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
