Chai Spiced Cookies

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, softened

Granulated sugar

1 cup

Egg

1 large

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Baking powder

1 teaspoon

Chai spice blend

2 teaspoons

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, chai spice blend, and salt until evenly combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Using a rounded tablespoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
