Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Chai Spice Mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
For the Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This step is important for soft cookies.
Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Scrape down the bowl so everything blends evenly.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and all chai spices.
Step 4: Combine Everything
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix — the dough should be soft.
Step 5: Chill the Dough
- Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. This helps the cookies hold their shape.
Step 6: Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes until just set.
Step 7: Cool
- Let cookies cool completely before glazing.
