Chai Butter Cookies

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, 1 1/3 cups of granulated sugar, and chai tea mix until light and fluffy (approximately 3-5 minutes).

Recipe View Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated into the mixture (about 1 minute per egg).

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Recipe View Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, blending until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2-3 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up. (1 hour)

Recipe View Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Recipe View Roll the chilled cookie dough into walnut-sized balls. (10-15 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar into a shallow dish. Roll each ball of dough in the sugar to coat completely.

Recipe View Place the sugared cookie dough balls onto greased cookie sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie using the tines of a fork, creating a crosshatch pattern.

Recipe View Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (10-12 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
