My parents have been in town for the weekend and we ventured to Palatka, Florida to eat lunch today. Corky Bells is the restaurant we went to, it's a great location right on the Saint Johns River and the food is good. When we walked in the door I saw their specials board with a Pumpkin Spice Martini- YUM! It was super creamy and even had a graham cracker rim. I like my dessert first. ;)
Incidentally, before we headed off to lunch I prepared the dough for these Chai Pumpkin Spice Cookies.
Chai Pumpkin Spice Cookies
You will need:
Add in the egg, vanilla and chai concentrate, mix to combine.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt next.
Cover the dough and allow to firm up in the fridge for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1 inch round balls with your hands. Using a 1 tbsp measuring spoon helps to keep the size the same.
Place the dough balls onto the paper and sprinkle with your chai spice mix. I had the most control over how much by pinch/sprinkling with my fingers.
Bake for 11-13 minutes. While baking, unwrap kisses and place them on a plate in your freezer. Then they won't melt so much when you press them into your cookies.
Once removed from the oven immediately press the kisses into the cookies, do not touch them after pressing them in, they will melt into puddles.
Allow to cool completely if you want the kiss to be firm, they're delicious warm though too. :)
You will have left over chai concentrate and chai spice mix. I would recommend making yourself a chai latte, sprinkling with the spices and enjoying it with your cookies.
