Ingredients
Cookies
- 1/2 c (113 g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ⅓ c (80 ml) light olive oil
- 1/2 c (113 g) sugar
- 1/3 c (35 g) powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 c (240 g) all purpose/plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
- 1 chai tea bag
Icing
- 1 c (105 g) powered sugar
- 2 Tbsp whole milk (add a little at a time)
- dash of nutmeg
- dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Beat butter and add the olive oil.
- Add sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and tea (yes, open up the tea bag and dump in the whole thing!).
- Chill the soft dough for about 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Form cookie dough balls into approximately 2” rounds. Add to greased cookie sheet. About 8 cookies should fit on each tray.
- Press slightly to even out cookie shape.
- Bake for approximately 9 minutes. The cookies should be slightly golden but the edges should not start to burn.
- Cool completely, about 10-15 minutes.
- While cookies cool, prepare the icing. Combine powdered sugar, a little of the milk at a time, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth. Icing should be viscous, but not thin enough to run off the cookies.
- Cover the cookies with icing and dust with extra cinnamon, if desired.
- Allow icing to harden completely before plating or serving..
- Put on your favorite Taylor Swift album and enjoy with a cup of tea!
