This was originally published in Southern Living magazine; I have made a few alterations. I have used both Betty Crocker and Krusteaz sugar cookie mixes, both are good just remember that baking temps/times may vary. These cookies are sweet, spicy, and make me think of the winter holidays. Ingredients:
1 chai tea bag (black) |
1 (15 1/2-17 1/2 ounce) package sugar cookie mix |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 large egg |
6 tablespoons eggnog, divided |
parchment paper |
cinnamon sugar |
1 cup powdered sugar (confectioner's) |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to temperature specified on cookie mix package (usually 350-375F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Remove tea leaves from teabag, discard tea bag.
3. Mix together sugar cookie mix, tea leaves, melted butter, egg and 2 T. eggnog until well blended.
4. Drop by half tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.
5. Dip the bottom of a glass into cinnamon sugar and lightly press onto top of each cookie.
6. Bake as instructed on package, cool completely on wire racks.
7. Combine powdered sugar, nutmeg, and 3-4 T. eggnog to make icing.
8. Frost each cookie.
