Chai anything makes me feel all warm and home-y inside. Mostly because drinking chai was a daily ritual in my home. My daily breakfast consisted of me drinking chai and dipping toasted bread with ghee into it. Yum! Ghee + chai = my childhood. I still do this from time to time just for nostalgia’s sake.
I decided to mix butter ( ghee’s cousin ) with chai and make these delicious chai spritz cookies. My hubby bought me a cookie press for the holidays and I figured this is the best way to christen it. This recipe makes the most butter-y, aromatic cookies ever! It’s hard to just eat one. I downed about 10 cookies, walked away, and then came back for more. I literally couldn’t stop. They are that hard to resist! Also because I eat when I get bored and have foodie FOMO. It’s a problem.
Story of my life….
Anywho- give these a shot! They are super quick and easy to make and smell divine! Hope you enjoy them!
