  • Masala Chai Ginger Bread Cookies 

Ingredients

Ghee - 1/4 cup/ 55g

Masala chai blend: 2TBS

Jaggery: 1 cup/ 125 g

Brown sugar 65g/ 1/3cup

Milk 2TBS

Flour 155 g/ 1 ¼ cup

Baking soda ½ teaspoon

Pinch of salt

Water

PROCEDURE

Combine the Masala tea blend with ghee. Allow it to infuse for 30 minutes, then strain the mixture.

In a saucepan, dissolve jaggery in 50ml (1/4 cup) water over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes until it forms a syrup. Let it cool for 30 minutes.

Create Wet Mix:

Combine two tablespoons of jaggery syrup with 65g (1/3 cup) brown sugar and the previously infused Masala Chai ghee. Add a splash of milk to this mixture. Cook over medium heat until the sugars dissolve. Allow it to cool to a tepid temperature.

Prepare Dry Mix:

Mix 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in a separate bowl. Add the cooled wet mixture to the dry ingredients and blend using a cake mix blender until well combined.

Chill and Shape:

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Once chilled, roll it out with a rolling pin to your desired thickness. Use a cookie cutter to create shapes from the dough.

Bake:

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the shaped cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy:

Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

I  love this dessert, the meringue can be made the day before, the fruit and syrup can be done the day before or earlier in the day and all you need to do is whip the cream and put it all together.
