Servings: 24
Calories: 156kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 chai tea bag
For the Eggnog Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons eggnog or whole milk
Instructions
- Add the butter to the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix until butter is light and fluffy. Then add oil and mix until fully combined.
- Add sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt, and the contents of the chai tea bag. Whisk until combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on medium speed. Mix until dough forms and all ingredients are fully incorporated. You may have to scrape the sides of the bowl. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350. Remove dough from the fridge and scoop onto a baking sheet either covered with parchment paper or sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake for 9 minutes. Do not over-bake. The cookies will continue to cook on the pan once you pull them out.
- To make the icing, mix powdered sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and eggnog. Stir with a fork until combined.
- Let cookies cool and then drizzle icing over the top of each cookie.

Notes
- Want to simplify this recipe? Taylor herself suggests using a premade sugar cookie mix and just adding the chai tea bag to the mix.
- The icing is optional, as the cookies are delicious on their own, but I just love the eggnog flavor so I almost always ice them. If you aren't icing the cookies, sprinkle them with a little bit of white sugar before baking.
- If black tea isn't your thing, then you can make up a chai spice mix to add to the dough. To a small bowl, add two teaspoons each of cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and four teaspoons each of ginger and cinnamon. Mix together and use one to two teaspoons of the mix in your cookie dough. Save the rest for later! This mix tastes great in overnight oats, chia seed pudding, and hot chocolate!
