- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves), and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook on the sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy these delicious chai spiced chocolate chip cookies with a steaming cup of tea or coffee. Perfect for sharing with friends or savored alone, they are sure to bring a warm smile to your day!
