<div>From the Kitchens of Amy & JJHere is a “famous” recipe that is making its way around the internet again… it is Taylor Swift’s Chai Sugar Cookie recipe, which first turned up on her Tumblr account in her own handwriting. This would be a great save-for-the-Holidays if you have a Taylor Swift Fan coming over.Taylor Swift’s Chai Sugar Cookie recipeIngredients1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature1/2 cup vegetable oil (I like canola or sunflower oil)1/2 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup powdered sugarPinch of fresh cracked black pepper1 large egg2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean pod2 cups all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon kosher salt1 Chai Tea BagPreparation –Oven at 350 degrees, grease cookie sheetBeat butter and add oilAdd sugar, powdered sugar, egg and vanillaStir in flour, baking soda, salt and teaChill the soft dough for about 1 hourLine cookie sheet with 12 tablespoons of dough dropsPress evenly and cover with sugar.9ish minutes in the ovenCover with icing when cooled completely.Now, the recipe did not include the icing. However, her cookies are a “Taylor’s Version” of the 2009 Joy the Baker recipe and this is her icing recipe:Icing ingredients –1 1/2 cups powdered sugar1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling the top of the cookies3 tablespoons whole milk or eggnogIn a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients to thick but spreadable. Spread each cooled cookie with graze just over the center, leaving the edges of the cookie free of glaze. Sprinkle with a bit of fresh nutmeg if you have it. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.Also, if you don’t have a chai tea bag… maybe substitute Joy the Baker’s ingredients –1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon ground allspice1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom1/8 teaspoon ground clovesAnd, of course, we should probably recommend listening to some Taylor while you are baking.
