Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon chai tea mix
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, white sugar, powdered sugar, tea mix, and salt in a food processor or small chopper. Pulse until tea is pulverized and distributed throughout the dry ingredients. Mix in cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, and cloves. Add butter and vanilla extract. Pulse together just until a rough dough is formed.

Step 2

Scrape out dough onto a piece of wax or parchment paper. Form dough into an 8-inch log. Cover with paper and roll the log until smooth. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Step 4

Use a sharp knife to slice the chilled log of dough into 1/3-inch-thick pieces. Place on the baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are just beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
