Hello there sweetlings! It's been ages since I posted. October is here once again and time to make cozy things to eat. I also finally got around to baking the much hyped (at least for Swifties) Taylor Swift's Chai Sugar Cookies. I tweaked the recipe a little bit since I figured the recipe could need a more intense chai taste. So here it is:
TAYLOR SWIFT'S CHAI SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 tablespoon chai spice powder (I used Muscat Blend's Indian blend chai spice)
- Pinch of fresh cracked black pepper ( I used the m brand peppercorn medley)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flor
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Cinnamon sugar for rolling (equal parts sugar and cinnamon)
- 1 teabag chai tea
Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- Ground nutmeg for sprinkling over glaze
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add the vegetable oil until blended. Gradually add granulated sugar, confectioner's sugar, chai spice and tea leaves from 1 bag of chai tea. Beat until well combined.
3. Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well blended.
4. Stir in presifted flour, baking soda and salt with a wooden spoon while mixwr is on slow speed.
5. Refrigerate dough for 1-hour or put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
6. Using a rounded 2 tablespoon scoop, form dough into balls. Roll in cinnamon sugar and arrange cookie dough on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely and using a teaspoon, pour the glaze in the center of the cookie, leaving the edges free of glaze. Sprinkle nutmeg powder on top of the glaze.
8. Let the glaze dry. Enjoy the cookies with chai tea or pumpkin spiced coffee while listening to Taylor Swift's autumn inspired playlist.
