Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg, room temperature
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
4 Stash Double Spice Chai tea bags
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Maple glaze
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 °F. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Then blend in the molasses and vanilla extract, followed by the egg.
In a food processor, pulse the flour, ginger, the contents of the tea bags, baking powder and salt until combined.
Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and blend just until combined.
Using a medium scoop, scoop the cookie dough out and roll it into balls. Place the cookie dough on the baking sheet a couple inches apart. Bake for 11-13 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool. Once the cookies are cooled, make the glaze. Whisk the confectioners sugar with the maple syrup until combined. Then spread over each cookie.
