Ingredients

Cookies

  • ½ c butter room temperature, see notes
  • ⅓ c olive oil light flavor
  • ½ c sugar
  • ⅓ c powdered sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 c all purpose/plain flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt omit if using salted butter
  • 1 chai tea bag

Icing

  • 1 c powered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp whole milk add a little at a time
  • dash of nutmeg
  • dash of cinnamon
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Beat butter and add the olive oil.
  • Add sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and tea (yes, open up the tea bag and dump in the whole thing!).
  • Chill the soft dough for about 1 hour or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Form cookie dough balls into approximately 2” rounds. Add to greased cookie sheet. About 8 cookies should fit on each tray.
  • Press slightly to even out cookie shape.
  • Bake for approximately 9 minutes. The cookies should be slightly golden but the edges should not start to burn.
  • Cool completely, about 10-15 minutes.
  • While cookies cool, prepare the icing. Combine powdered sugar, a little of the milk at a time, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth. Icing should be viscous, but not thin enough to run off the cookies.
  • Cover the cookies with icing and dust with extra cinnamon, if desired.
  • Allow icing to harden completely before plating or serving..
  • Put on your favorite Taylor Swift album and enjoy with a cup of tea!

Notes

  • You can use salted or unsalted butter (omit the salt if using salted)
  • Best served with a cup of tea, autumn weather, and 1989 (Taylor's Version).
