Delicious Brown Butter Chai-flavored Crinkle Cookies
In the world of desserts, the holiday season is a time for innovation and tradition. Peter Wagner, the author of the cookbook "Recipes to Fit your Schedule", has delivered a unique take on the classic holiday crinkle cookie with his Brown Butter Chai Crinkle Cookies.
These cookies are flavored with the spices of Indian black tea, including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper, which complement the warm flavors of the brown butter used in the recipe. Land O'Lakes Unsalted Butter is the butter of choice for these delightful treats.
The signature crinkle cookie look requires a thick coating of confectioners' sugar on every inch of surface area. Interestingly, the confectioners' sugar doesn't need to be sifted for these chai crinkle cookies, as the lumps help coat the cookies more thoroughly and create interesting crinkles when baked.
Coating every inch of the cookie dough ball generously with a thick coating of confectioners' sugar before baking is essential to maintain the crinkle effect and prevent "bald spots". Using a 4-Tablespoon cookie dough scoop to portion the cookie dough into balls and coating them directly in confectioners' sugar helps prevent sticking to the sheet pan.
Baking these cookies is a breeze. They can be baked for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges have set but the centers are still soft. If the dough is too soft due to warm brown butter, chilling it for an hour can make it easier to work with.
Once baked, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. For those short on time, the book title "Recipes to Fit your Schedule" reveals the secrets to baking delicious desserts on a tight schedule.
Moreover, the cookies can be frozen, whether in their raw form or baked. The frozen cookie dough balls can be baked without thawing. If you find yourself craving these cookies during the off-season, simply freeze the dough and bake them whenever you please.
Lastly, while the recipe calls for specific spices, it is possible to swap out some of these for other spices like allspice, nutmeg, and white pepper, to tailor the cookies to your personal taste.
