Ingredients

Chai Cookies

½ cup unsalted butter (125 grams) (softened at room temperature for ½ hour)
½ cup vegetable oil (125 ml)
½ cup caster sugar (110 grams)
½ cup icing sugar (70 grams)
1 egg (60-70 grams) (whisk lightly before adding)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups plain flour (270 grams)
½ teaspoon bicarb soda
1 pinch salt
1 or 2 chai teabags (contents only)

Icing

1 ½ cups icing sugar
4 ½ tablespoons milk
a little cinnamon and sprinkles (optional, to decorate)

Instructions

Chai Cookies

Beat butter and oil together until combined. (Start on slow speed and increase to avoid oil splashes.)
Add sugars, egg and vanilla extract and beat again until smooth.
Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (sifted together) along with the chai tea. Stir until combined.
Chill mixture for about 1 hour.
While mixture is chilling, pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius / 360 degrees fahrenheit and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Roll chilled mixture into balls (about 1 ½ tablespoons of mixture each) and place on prepared trays (allow room for cookies to spread).
Bake for 10 minutes.
Allow to cool on tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Allow to cool completely before icing.

Icing

Sift icing sugar and then add milk, a little at a time, until you have a soft, slightly runny mixture.
Place a teaspoon of the mixture on top of each cookie and allow to spread or encourage spreading using the back of the spoon.
Decorate with a little sprinkle of cinnamon and gold or crystal sprinkles.
