Ingredients
Units
For the cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- scant 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- scant 1/4 teaspoon cloves
For the filling
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons chai concentrate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Roll out 1/2 ounce balls of dough (about the size of a large marble) and press slightly into the cookie sheet, forming a flattened disk. Bake for roughly 8 minutes, so that the cookies are still soft to the touch. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, whip the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and chai concentrate until light and fluffy. Place into a small piping bag and pip out dollops of frosting over the undersides of half of the cookies. Top with other half of cookies to make cookie sandwiches!
