Ingredients
- ¼ cup Unsalted Butter Stick butter, softened
- ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoon White Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 ½ tablespoon Non-dairy Milk
- ¾ cup + 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ tablespoon Chai Tea Bag
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
- Pull out the butter to allow it to get to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened vegan butter along with the brown and white sugar until well combined.
- To this mixture, add the vanilla and the non-dairy milk, then mix again.
- In the same bowl as the wet ingredients, add the flour, baking powder, and chai spices.
- Use a mixing spoon or spatula to combine until you get a doughy texture.
- Using a cookie scoop (or your hands), scoop out eight even-sized balls.
- Place each cookie dough ball onto a parchment lined baking sheet with at least 1 inch between each cookie.
- Sprinkle the tops of the dough with a bit more white sugar before baking.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10-11 minutes. For a fully soft cookie, 10 minutes. For a soft center and crunchy edges, 11 minutes is ideal.
- Allow the cookies to cool, then enjoy!

Notes
- This recipe makes 8 cookies.
- To get evenly cooked and sized cookies, I highly recommend using a cookie scoop! For this recipe, I used a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop!
- If you want to make your own chai spice blend instead of using the tea bag, mix together 1 tsp. cardamom, 1 tsp. nutmeg, 1 tsp. allspice, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. ground cloves, and 3 tsps. ground ginger.
- For a simple icing, combine ¼ cup powdered sugar with about ½ tablespoon milk or almond milk OR eggnog and just a drop of vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Add cinnamon for a nice touch.
