How to Make Chai Tea Chewies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. (Grind spices fresh for best flavor!)
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1/2 cup Nestea (or strong brewed chai tea, cooled), 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Sprinkle each cookie generously with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
