Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 and 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 and ½ spoons of Masala Chai
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
• 3/4 teaspoon dried ginger
• zest of 1 orange
• 3 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• Melted dark chocolate and sprinkles for dipping and decoration

Method

• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a stand mixer, add the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat together until light in color. 
• Add the eggs, vanilla, and all of the zest and spices and mix until combined.
• Add the Chai leaves from the tea bags into a spice grinder and blitz until the leaves are finely ground. 
• Add to the mixer and combine with the rest of the mixture.
• Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time to the mixer, waiting until the flour has been incorporated by the mixer into the butter mixture each time before adding the next 1/2 cup of flour.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and work it into a disc shape with your hands.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for about 15 – 20 minutes.
• Remove dough from the fridge, roll it out to a 1/4″ thickness, and use cookie cutters of your choice.
• Place the cookies onto the baking sheets.
• Bake for about 12 minutes, then remove from the oven.
• Watch that the edges don’t get too golden – the middle of the cookies shouldn’t take much color.
• Place cookies on a cooling rack after baking and allow them to cool entirely before dipping into chocolate.
• Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or steam bath.
• Dip the cookies in chocolate and place them on a plate or tray lined with baking paper.
•  Add sprinkles of your choice onto the cookies while the chocolate is still melted.
• Let the chocolate cool and set.
• Enjoy your meal!
