Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tbsp + 2 tsp Chai Spice
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 cup Salted Butter, (2 sticks or 227 grams)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • Additional sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In a skillet, melt the butter over medium to medium low heat until butter has become foamy and browned. After browned, pour into a heat safe container and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, chai spice, and kosher salt in a bowl and whisk together.
  • In a separate bowl, pour in cooled brown butter and then add vanilla extract, sugar, and dark brown sugar. Whisk together. Then add each egg, one at a time, whisking constantly until each egg is incorporated into the mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add butter mixture to the dry ingredients and fold together until there are no dry patches of flour. Add about ¼ cup of sugar to a small bowl. Spoon out 2 tbsp of cookie dough and roll into a ball to form the cookie. Roll cookie in small bowl of sugar and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes for a gooey cookie and 15 minutes for a crispier cookie. Allow to cool.
