Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup (125 grams) dairy free butter
1 cup white sugar/granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups plain flour/all purpose flour
1 teaspoon chai spice mix
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt

For rolling;

¼-½ cup white sugar/granulated sugar
1 tablespoon chai spice mix

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking trays with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) add the dairy free butter and sugar and beat well with an electric mixer. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and beat well to combine.
To the bowl, add the plain flour, chai spice mix, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and sea salt and beat well until a dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon sized balls of dough and roll into balls. Mix together the extra sugar and chai spice mix and roll each ball in the mixture until coated. Place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking tray ensuring there is enough space to allow them to spread.
Bake the cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Take the cookies out of the oven and bang the tray on the counter a couple of times to deflate the cookies. Allow them to cool on the rack for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
