Units
- 1 1/2 cups (288g) sugar
- 4 oz (113g) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (54g) canola oil
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 3/4 cups (273g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp (6g) cream of tartar
- 1 tsp (4g) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup sugar (for rolling)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for rolling)
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves (for rolling)
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (for rolling)
- 1/8 tsp ground cardamom (for rolling)
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the canola oil and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
- In a small bowl, combine the rolling sugar with the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom set aside for rolling.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the spiced sugar mixture until well coated.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. For crispier cookies, bake an additional 2 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, bake for the minimum time suggested.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, extend the baking time by a couple of minutes.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- These cookies are more suited for adults due to the chai spices.
