Ingredients

Cookies
  • ½ c butter room temperature, see notes
  • ⅓ c olive oil light flavor
  • ½ c sugar
  • ⅓ c powdered sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 c all purpose/plain flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt omit if using salted butter
  • 1 chai tea bag
Icing
  • 1 c powered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp whole milk add a little at a time

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat butter and add the olive oil.
  2. Add sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  3. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and tea (yes, open up the tea bag and dump in the whole thing!).
  4. Chill the soft dough for about 1 hour or overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  6. Form cookie dough balls into approximately 2” rounds. Add to greased cookie sheet. About 8 cookies should fit on each tray.
  7. Press slightly to even out cookie shape.
  8. Bake for approximately 9 minutes. The cookies should be slightly golden but the edges should not start to burn.
  9. Cool completely, about 10-15 minutes.
  10. While cookies cool, prepare the icing. Combine powdered sugar, a little of the milk at a time, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth. Icing should be viscous, but not thin enough to run off the cookies.
  11. Cover the cookies with icing and dust with extra cinnamon, if desired.
  12. Allow icing to harden completely before plating or serving..
  13. Put on your favorite Taylor Swift album and enjoy with a cup of tea!

Notes

  • You can use salted or unsalted butter (omit the salt if using salted)
  • Best served with a cup of tea, autumn weather, and 1989 (Taylor's Version).
