Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies

These Taylor Swift–inspired chai cookies are soft, spiced, and drizzled with a sweet nutmeg icing. Made with cozy chai tea baked right into the dough, they’re the ultimate fall or holiday cookie — and Swifties will love them just as much as classic peanut butter blossoms or sugar cookies. They're perfect for gifting, cookie swaps, or enjoying with a warm cup of tea. Check out Juan on Instagram @juanbiteatatime for more recipe inspo!

Preparation

  1. Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and vegetable oil until smooth, 3–5 minutes (alternatively, you may beat using an electric mixer).
  3. Add the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, and whisk or beat until combined.
  4. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and the contents of the tea bag until fully incorporated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and unwrap. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the dough into 22 small balls.
  7. Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press down gently on each ball with your hand or a cup.
  8. Working in 2 batches, bake each baking sheet for 10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a cooling rack, and let cool for 10 minutes.
  9. While the cookies cool, make the icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and nutmeg in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Drizzle or spread your desired amount of icing over the cooled cookies. Let dry until the icing is set, at least 1 or up to 4 hours. Serve. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  11. Enjoy!
