Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Not Shy About Chai mix
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
- 1-2 tsp Not Shy About Chai mix (for coating)
Directions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, Not Shy About Chai mix, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
- Chill dough: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to help prevent excessive spreading and develop the flavors.
- Shape cookies: Scoop dough into approximately 1½-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Press a few extra chocolate chips onto each cookie.
- Optional topping: Combine the chai mix and sugar in a small bowl. Lightly sprinkle over the cookie dough before baking.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and the centers look slightly soft.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
