Ingredients

Chai mix:

▢ 2 Tablespoons sugar
▢ 2 teaspoons cinnamon
▢ 1.5 teaspoons cardamom
▢ ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Frosting:

▢ ¼ cup salted butter add ⅛ teaspoon salt if using unsalted
▢ 2 Tablespoons eggnog
▢ ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
▢ 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

For the dough:

Preheat the oven to 400*F
Beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and beat about another minute, then scrape down the sides and beat to combine.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

For the Chai:

Mix ingredients together in a small bowl.

Make the Cookies:

Form dough into balls then roll into chai sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies are done when the top is matte and the edges juuuust start to darken.

For the frosting:

Get slightly softened butter- A little softened, but also still a little cold. Beat butter for 1 minute then add eggnog and nutmeg and beat until well combined. Add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
Place frosting in a ziploc baggie and snip just the tip of one of the corners off.
Make sure cookies are cooled completely then decorate lightly in favorite design.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

These cookies freeze really well. I like to freeze them while they are still slightly warm. It makes them suuuper soft when thawing and eating.
