Ingredients
Chai Spice
- 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ground cardamom
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- ½ tbsp ground allspice
- ½ tbsp ground clove
- ½ tbsp ground nutmeg
Oatmeal Chai Cookies
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tsp chai spice (see 'Chai Spice' Recipe above)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup dried berries (ex: cranberry, blueberries, strawberries, etc)
Instructions
Chai Spice
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients together. Whisk it very well. Store it in a tight plastic container and label the container.
Oatmeal Chai Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl or in a stand mixer, place the butter inside. Cream until the colour is more light, and texture is fluffy.
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Combine at medium-high speed for 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix well.
- In another bowl, add all your dry ingredients together: baking soda, salt, chai spice, flour, and oats.
- Combine the dry ingredients with your wet by adding the dry into the wet ingredients. Start the speed slowly so the flour doesn't come out the bowl. Once everything looks moist, speed it up to medium speed, and mix for 1 - 2 minutes. Fold in the berries.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
