• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 24

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon loose chai spice tea (about 3 tea bags)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 3 eggs

Directions:

1. Combine flour, sugar and spices in a large bowl.
2. Combine oil, juice and eggs; add to flour mixture and stir until well-blended (dough will be dry and crumbly). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 7 or 8 times.
3. Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into an 8" long roll. Place rolls 6" apart on greased baking sheet; flatten each roll to 1" thickness.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove rolls from baking sheet; cool 10 minutes on wire rack.
5. Cut each roll diagonally into 15 (1/2") slices. Place cut side down on baking sheet. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees; bake 10 minutes on each side. The cookies will be slightly soft in the center but will harden when cool.

Nice cookie...I followed pretty much to a T, but decreased sugar to 1/2 cup and used canola oil and only 2 eggs. Personally, I thought the chai spice was subtle, the texture was nice...I will make it again! :)
