You asked for it – so we’ve got another recipe for you today that we made using our delicious Chai Spice Mix from earlier this month. These Chai Sugar Cookie Squares are rich, buttery and sweet – and another delicious way to get your chai spice fix!
These Chai Sugar Cookie Squares are adapted from a recipe by the Momofuku Milk Bar – the popular, award-winning chain of dessert and bakery restaurants in New York City. The original recipe shared here uses cinnamon in the sweet sugar topping, but we swapped in our chai spice mix for a more unique, spicy flavor that is wonderful with this simple sugar cookie base.
These Chai Sugar Cookie Squares are extremely easy to make. The cookie batter mixes up quickly, then it is spread into a greased, jelly roll-sized baking pan. Just before baking, sprinkle with granulated sugar mixed with the chai spices. Bake for twenty minutes – and you’re done!
