Ingredients
2cupsAll-purpose flour
3/4cupCocoa powder
2tspChai masala
1cupButter, softened
1cupIcing sugar
1Egg
1tspVanilla extract
White chocolate, melted ( for decorating)Optional
Sprinkles, dried rose petals ( for decorating)
Instructions
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and chai masala in a large bowl.
Beat the butter and icing sugar, until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients. Combine well, using a spatula.
You'll get a soft, but pliable dough.
Divide into 2 halves. Wrap each half in foil or cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the dough becomes firmer.
Preheat your oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with Silpat or parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out your dough to 1/8" thickness.
Using a 2/2.5" cookie cutter, cut out the dough. Place on the prepared tray.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly firm to touch. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool the cookies completely.
If decorating them, dip each cookie halfway into melted white chocolate. Place on a lined tray. Top the chocolate with sprinkles and dried rose petals. Let set for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
