Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– Β½ cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups old-fashioned oats
– 1 tablespoon chai spice blend (ginger- and cardamom-forward)
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 2 teaspoons chai spice blend
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– Β½ teaspoon kosher salt
– 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
– 4 6 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1-Mix in 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture for a smooth base.
2-In a separate large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups old-fashioned oats, 1 tablespoon chai spice blend, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
3-Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined; do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
4-Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to prevent spreading and achieve that thick, chewy texture.
5-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
6-Scoop the dough into 18-20 balls (approximately 3 tablespoons each), flatten them slightly, and place them on the prepared sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
7-Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set; allow the cookies to cool completely on the sheets.
8-For the glaze, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons chai spice blend, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, Β½ teaspoon kosher salt, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and 4 6 tablespoons heavy cream until it reaches a thick, pourable consistency.
9-Dip the cooled cookies into the glaze for a generous coating and let it set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
π§ Use a light-colored skillet to accurately brown butter without burning.
βοΈ Chill dough before baking to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
π½οΈ The dough can be prepared ahead and baked from chilled or thawed state for convenience.
