  • 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.
