How to Make Chai Spiced Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves; whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for 30 seconds.
- Add ¼ cup milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest; mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be slightly soft.
- Turn the dough out onto a sheet of waxed paper and shape it into a 12 x 2-inch log.
- Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 6 hours).
- Once chilled, slice the log into ¼-inch thick slices.
- Roll each slice into a ball, then gently flatten into a neat circle using a fork or your fingers.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Sprinkle with extra granulated sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
