Chai Butter Cookies

Use an electric hand mixer to cream the ingredients together

In a separate bowl, sift 2 2/3 cups of all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of all spice, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg 

Add the dry ingredients in with the creamed butter mixture and mix until fully combined

Place two sheets of plastic wrap onto the counter and divide the dough between the two sheets

Wrap the dough tightly in the plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour

Working with one portion at a time, unwrap the dough and place it onto a lightly floured surface

Roll the dough out to between 1/8-1/4 inch thickness

Use cookie cutters to cut your desired shapes and transfer the cut out cookies onto parchment lined baking sheets

Place the cut out cookies into the freezer while you preheat your oven to 325 degrees

Repeat the process with the second portion of dough

Once the oven is preheated, bake the chilled cookies for between 10-12 minutes or until their edges are just lightly golden

Transfer the cookies onto cooling racks

Glaze or drizzle, if desired and enjoy

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature
