Nom nom nom... If only the cookie could pop out of the screen just a little bit so you could sneak a nibble... |
Ingredients, cookies:
-1/4 cup Greek yogurt
-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1/2 cup softened butter
-1 egg
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-2 sachets of chai tea (or approximately 2 tsp of loose tea mix)
-1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
-1/4 cup cornstarch
-3/4 tsp baking powder
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 tsp ground cinnamon
-1/2 cup finely minced candied ginger
Ingredients, frosting:
-2 tbsp softened butter
-2 tbsp vegetable shortening
-2 cups powdered sugar
-1 to 3 tbsp milk
-2 tsp ground cardamom
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a cookie sheet.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the yogurt, sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, and
chai tea.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking
powder, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just
combined. Dough will be fairly wet.
5. Stir in the candied ginger.
6. Shape into 2-inch flattened balls and bake in the preheated oven for
10 minutes until the edges are barely browned.
Cookies may look a little undercooked, but this is okay and they will
continue to cook a little as they cool.
7. While the cookies bake, prepare the frosting. Beat the butter, shortening, one tablespoon
of the milk, the ground cardamom, salt, vanilla extract, and apple cider
vinegar. Gradually add in the powdered
sugar, beating until smooth. Add in 1-2
more tablespoons of milk depending on the desired consistency.
8. Once cookies have cooled, spread a dollop of frosting on each. Garnish with extra chopped candied ginger, if
desired. Enjoy! (Recommended
accompaniment: cup of chai tea—chai it up!!)
