These cookies are without a doubt one of my favorite cookie creations. The combination of warming chai spices with the classic iced oatmeal cookies truly creates a one-of-a-kind cookie. Be sure to bake extra—these will disappear quickly!
- Oats – You will need old fashioned oats for this recipe. I do not recommend using quick oats in this recipe. They will alter the texture of the cookies.
- Flour – This recipe uses plain all-purpose flour.
- Leaveners – Both baking powder and baking soda are needed.
- Seasonings/Spices – You will need salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg for these chai oatmeal cookies.
- Butter – Plain unsalted butter works best for these oatmeal cookies.
- Milk – Your choice of milk or cream will work just fine in this recipe.
- Sugars – This recipe uses granulated sugar, light brown sugar and powdered sugar.
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
TIP
The homemade chai spice blend featured in this recipe is perfect for all your chai-flavored creations. Consider making a large batch by multiplying the recipe by four and keeping it on hand for future use.
For the best texture, this recipe requires a food processor or blender to create a coarse meal out of the oatmeal before using it in the recipe.
STEP 1
In a food processor or blender, pulse the oatmeal until it has the texture of coarse meal. Be careful not to over-process it into a flour. Pour into a large bowl and whisk in the salt, baking powder, baking soda, spices and flour.
STEP 2
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well mixed. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
STEP 3
Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Scoop onto a prepared baking sheet and bake for 14 minutes. Cool before icing.
STEP 4
In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Then, dip the top of each cookie into the icing and allow it to set before serving. Enjoy!
