Who doesn't love a hot cup of Chai tea or a Chai Latte from the local Starbucks? I certainly do! And with this recipe, you can munch on a shortbread cookie flavored with the spices known to our taste buds as belonging to the delicious Chai tea flavor...
Chai Flavored Short Bread
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 6 3/4 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of ground cloves
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup powdered sugar
10 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon ice water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 6 3/4 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of ground cloves
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup powdered sugar
10 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon ice water
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through pepper), stirring well with a whisk. Place sugar and butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy.
Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until combined (mixture will appear crumbly). Sprinkle dough with 1 tablespoon ice water; toss with a fork.
Divide dough in half. Shape dough into 2 (6-inch-long) logs; wrap each log in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour or until very firm.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Unwrap dough logs. Carefully cut each log into 18 slices using a serrated knife.
Place dough circles 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove cookies from pans; cool completely on wire racks.

Sounds great! I'll never forget the first time I had a Chai tea. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Now, that I am older and smarter, I realize that the cardamon is one of the spices that make me love it so much!
Alright, I live under a rock I've never had chai tea. (hanging my head in shame) But I'll fix that soon, thanks for the recipe.
