Get paper and pencil ready

What do we need to make these delicious cookies? Let's grab a pencil and paper.

 

The ingredients

First of all, these are the ingredients you need:

2 cups of flour (250 grams)

1 egg

1/2 cup of unsalted butter (100 grams)

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

1/2 cup of granulated sugar (100 grams)

1/2 of powdered sugar (100 grams)

and 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract.

But there's more...

 

Tea bag in the mix

The cookies also require 1 chai tea bag, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

The frosting

For the frosting, you need 1½ cups of powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk.

Here we go!

Now it's time to grab your apron and get to work making it.

The oven at 180 degrees

But before we start making the dough, we must first preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 Fahrenheit) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

With hands in the dough

Now, you will get your hands dirty. Beat the butter and add the oil. Then add the granulated sugar, the icing sugar, the egg, and the vanilla extract.

Mix in the chai

And then comes the special addition of Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies to the mix: open the chai tea ball and mix it with the dough.

Refrigerate the dough for an hour

Meanwhile, we also mix the flour with the baking soda and salt, before adding and mixing it with the other sought. We refrigerate the resulting mix for one hour.

Make balls and flatten them into shapes

Next, take the dough and start making balls. You will then flatten those balls using the palms of your hands.

Bake for 8-11 minutes

Sprinkle with granulated sugar and then put them in the oven for 8-11 minutes. You see, it's really not that difficult to make them!
