How to Make Chai Spiced Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup milk.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes.
  10. While cookies are cooling, prepare the coating: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  11. Gently roll the warm cookies in the coating mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  12. Place the coated cookies on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, you can fluff up the coating mixture with a wire whisk and gently roll the cookies again for an extra layer of deliciousness.
