Chai Flavored "Sugar" Cookies
A bold chai flavored cake-like cookie with a "sugary" outside.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter softened
- 3/4 c xylitol (or other low glycemic sweetener) plus extra, for coating
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 c Trim Healthy Mama baking blend
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
- 1/2 tsp cardamom ground
- 1/4 tsp ginger ground
- 1/8 tsp cloves ground
- 1/4 c brewed chai tea + 2 tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and xylitol. (I used a stand mixer, but you could easily do this by hand as well).
- Add the eggs and vanilla; beat until just combined.
- Mix in the baking blend, baking soda, baking powder, and all of the spices. Mixture will be crumbly and a bit dry.
- Slowly pour in the 1/4 c + 2 tbsp brewed tea and mix well.
- Form the cookies into balls - roughly two tbsp per cookie or a medium cookie scoop.
- Roll each ball in the extra xylitol or low glycemic sweetener.
- Place on a parchment covered cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass. The cookies will rise as they bake.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies have browned bottoms. They will be soft to the touch, even after sitting.
- Store in the refrigerator for best results.
