This last Saturday was my final baking day before Christmas. I spent eleven hours baking and baking, until I had enough cookies to fill a plate for many of our close friends–and then some! It was very tiring, but I always enjoy the process of creating homemade gifts. It feels like you’re offering your loved ones a little piece of yourself!
My new favorite cookie recipe this season is one I’ve been working on for a while, Chai Latte Cookies. These little chai sandwich cookies are ultra tender with a creamy spice flavor and a dollop of cardamom vanilla frosting inside. Mmmmmmmmm.
Hopefully one of these will become YOUR new favorite cookie. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to ALL!
Chai Latte Cookies
These little chai sandwich cookies are ultra tender with a creamy spice flavor and a dollop of cardamom vanilla frosting inside.
Servings: 40 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup sugar + extra for rolling
- 1/2 cup instant chai latte powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Recipe for Spiced Frosting
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Baking your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter, sugar, and instant chai together until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg, mix well. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add it to the sugar mixture until beaten smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup of sugar to a small bowl. Roll tiny 1/2-inch balls of dough and place them in the sugar. Roll them around to coat and move them to a baking sheet, about an inch apart.
- Using the bottom of a glass, press the dough balls until they are slightly flattened out, but not thin.
- Bake for approximately 8 minutes.
- Once cooled, pipe a small mound of spiced frosting onto half of the cookies (bottom-side-up). Top each cookie with another cookie. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Argh, I so wanted that coffee maker! Ah well, I shall survive. I'd be happy with one or two (or ten) of your cookies!
I would die for those dulce de leche and nutella thumbprints! Or, I would move close to you so I could get some. Happy holidays Sommer!
What a line up with great cookies for Christmas! Now, what will I make,…I wonder,…!!
All of those cookies look so delicious. If you need any last minute ideas, you should check out the fun creations I've been making this week. The Nutella with sea salt sounds particularly delicious to me this morning. Mmmm. I love sea salt, it makes just about anything better!
Hi Sommer, I did get your message and I left mine under your Coffee Machine Giveaway.
(Angie's Recipes said… Sommer, thanks for the message! I am so glad to know that you enjoyed the cookies too. I actually baked some more today as the first two batches were all gone. And sure you can use the cookie photos from my blog. :-)) Thanks again.
Just tweeted your giveaway :-))
