I figured since I have had several requests for the Chai cookie recipe and a couple of other requests, I would place all the cookie recipes I made this week up.

Chai Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cupa whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter with granulated sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl until well blended. Stir in flour, spices and salt until just combined.

Scoop and roll dough into small teaspoon-sized balls and place about an inch apart on greased baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then cool completely on rack. If you want them sweeter you can sprinkle them in powdered sugar after baking.
