Chocolate Chai Sandwich Cookies: A Delicious Twist on a Classic | The Food Diaries

-

Hello, all cookie lovers! 

Today, I am going to share one of the recipes that will combine the warmth of chai spices with the richness of chocolate: Chocolate Chai Sandwich Cookies. This new cookie is soft, chewy, rich in chocolate ganache filling, and fragrant with the flavors of chai—truly a perfect treat any time of the year.

The Inspiration

A cookie that brings together the two of my loves: chocolate and chai—what's not to love? The result is a cookie at once familiar and exotic, the warming comfort of the chai spices offset by the richness of dark chocolate.

The Recipe...

Here's what you'll need:

    • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    •  1 tsp. baking soda
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1 cup chai spice mix (or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, then stir in chocolate chips and chai spice mix.
6. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to form balls of dough, about 1 tablespoon each, onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack, where they will cool completely.
9. For the chocolate ganache, melt 1 cup chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.
10. Sandwich a spoonful of ganache between two cooled cookies and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Use more or less chai spice mix to your liking.
  • Add a little sea salt on top for some added texture and flavor.

Try using different types of chocolate and adding nuts or dried fruit for even more texture.

Why I Love This Recipe:

  • Chocolate and chai are a perfect pair.
  • The cookies are soft, chewy, and have a deliciously gooey center.

They are great for dunking into tea or coffee or just because. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Happy baking, and tag me with your creations on social media with
