Instructions

Cookie Dough

  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 30 min or until dough has firmed. (just enough to resemble regular cookie dough texture, don't freeze solid)

  • Now make your Chai spice coating by mixing all ingredients into a shallow bowl.
  • Remove cookie dough from freezer.
  • With a normal size tablespoon, scoop out one spoonful of dough. Press 2 small chocolate chunks into the dough and roll into a ball.
  • Next gently place cookie ball into bowl of coating. Turning until completely covered with a light layer of Chai spices.
  • Continue forming cookie dough balls and placing 1.5 in. apart on cookie sheets.
