How to Make Eggnog Chai Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your sugar cookie mix package.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove 1 tablespoon of loose chai tea leaves from a tea bag; discard the tea bag.
- In a large bowl, combine the entire package of sugar cookie mix, 1 tablespoon of chai tea leaves, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 2 teaspoons of eggnog. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in another 2 tablespoons of eggnog until the dough reaches a smooth, droppable consistency.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Dip the bottom of a glass in the cinnamon sugar mixture and gently press onto the top of each cookie.
- Bake according to the instructions on your sugar cookie mix package. Cool completely on wire racks.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 3-4 teaspoons of eggnog until smooth. Add more eggnog, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, frost each cookie with the eggnog icing.
