Chapter Twenty-Two

Sugar & Spice

A bite into this cookie is akin to a sip of a chai tea latte, to a buttery fall flavored dessert, to a crisp morning, and warm cinnamon. This cookie is incredible, and you may become addicted after one bite. It’s absolutely scrumptious and brings together all your favorite flavors from a chai into a warm gooey buttery cookie with both white and dulcey chocolate.

This cookie recipe is seriously amazing, I know everytime I obsess over my cookies but this one seriously is absolutely incredible. If you like any flavors of chai, fall, or any apple dessert this cookie is perfect for you. It brings all those warm flavors to you way past the holiday season anytime you want to reminisce.

Dulcey Chocolate- Dulcey chocolate is a caramelized white chocolate sold by Valrhona that is truly mind blowing. The toasted flavors are reminiscent of a toffee shortbread and perfectly fits into the flavor profile of this cookie!

Chai Seasonings- The spices brought together to recreate chai consist of ground cinnamon, clove, cardamom, allspice, and apple pie spice. These spices together will create the perfect cup of chai in your cookie dough! The apple pie spice is just a mixture of nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove and is amazing in this recipe but not necessary if you can’t get ahold of it.

Browned Butter- Preheat your pot, and place your stick of butter in it. Whisking continuously as it becomes frothy and you see browned bits starting to float and appear within the pot. You can stop before the color becomes too dark and the butter can continue to brown even out of the heated pot. Make sure to pour in all the bits when you transfer to your mixing bowl.
