I can’t think of many desserts more basic than the sugar cookie. And yet with all their simplicity, a hot, fresh from the oven sugar cookie, is simply irresistible.
One of the first cookies I remember making with my grandmother is a sugar cookie. More specifically, we made “tea cakes” which contain the same basic ingredients as a sugar cookie. The tea cakes we made were always soft whereas sugar cookies may be soft or crunchy depending on the recipe. There are many different variations of the sugar cookie but they all start with the basics-flour, sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla. Basic. Simple. Delicious.
When working on recipes for taking a plain sugar cookie to the next level, I didn’t want to make it complicated. After all, the main appeal of the sugar cookie is the simplicity. So I’ve kept my variation to the addition of just one ingredient-Chai tea.
There are three ways to get that yummy Chai tea flavor into your sugar cookie.
1. When making up your dough, simply add a packet of Dove Chocolate Discoveries™ Spiced Chai Tea to your dough.
2. Or, stir a packet of Dove Chocolate Discoveries™ Spiced Chai Tea into ½ cup sugar and sprinkle on cookies before baking.
3. And for the ultimate Chai tea flavor, add a packet to your dough and sprinkle them with Chai tea sugar.
I also created a filling for cooled Chai tea cookies. But, um, did I mention that fresh, hot from the oven thing? Chai Tea Sugar Cookies take irresistible to a whole new level…….
