Chai Tea Gingerbread Cookies

[peacelovetrees24]

I'm gonna guess that if you just want rounds at not cut outs you can form the dough into a log then chill it then just slice 1/4" thick rounds off of the logs?

[yoyomax12]

@peacelovetrees24 yep

[liptontea]

Thanks for sharing! These cookies look delicious!

[catfreak190]

What is mollases, is it an american thing? I am in the United Kingdom by the way.

[yoyomax12]

@catfreak190 Molasses is similar to treacle

[catfreak190]

@yoyomax12 Thanks, I found out just recently but thanks anyway :)

[yoyomax12]

@hotdog1997 lol!!

[Licazy]

Can I use something else instead of molasses?

[yoyomax12]

@Licazy Gingerbread has molasses in it, that's what really helps make it taste like gingerbread, however you could substitute the molasses with honey or corn syrup.

[bubbeth2]

I would love to bake ahead, but don't have much luck on being able to store them Do you prefer Tins or plastic?

[yoyomax12]

I put them in plastic freezer bags and keep them in the freezer until I'm ready to give them away. I then put them in plastic containers. Glad sells X-mas containers that are green and red and I use those.

Thank you for the great recipe! The idea of using chai tea bags is brilliant!

[yoyomax12]

The flavour of the Chai tea comes out very nicely in these!

[darlynn12]

[yoyomax12]

They really turned out well, thanks D.

[capergirl1976]

Alesha!

They are a very spicy, tasty cookie, perfect with a cup of tea!  I think you will like them.

[lmdelsanto1]

What a treat..you are inspiring me and my grandchildren to get baking....this looks so good..you are a good teacher...hugs from rhode island..

[yoyomax12]

Louise!

They are fun to make with kids because they can cut them out and decorate them after they are baked. Make them nice an thick so that they are easier to decorate and are more sturdy. Just bake them a little longer.

[twish1999]

They look delightful!

:-)

[yoyomax12]

Thanks Trish!

[Lesli2]

[PKZOreoLover]

i wish my family liked Chai Tea =( sucks that if i make it im the only one whos going too be eating them but that might not be a problem lol

[yoyomax12]

They will love these cookies even if they don't like chai tea. They taste a lot like pumpkin spice.

[kamiseta2002]

This is so unique- I will have to try this when I go back home!!!

[yoyomax12]

I like variations on traditional cookies, these turned out very well. thanks.

[CarnivalShine]

oh my goodness i want to try this SOOO much!!! chai + gingerbread + fall is ABSOLUTELY IMPECCABLE.

but then again, in canada, we dont have much of a fall.... =( lol but GREAT recipe!!

[yoyomax12]

Our fall is pretty short, that's for sure!

They are a very spicy, tasty cookie, perfect with a cup of tea! I think you will like them.

[SuzanneBa]

OOO these look lovely I've tried Chai tea and can imagine in a cookie it will be different and delicious.

Okay..lets try commenting agian.

I had to enter a captcha before doing this, and it was ovenoff, ahah to funny

Never had or heard of these cookies, look good, sound's like they would have an interesting unique taste.

[yoyomax12]

[silverscreamgrl]

The money shot made me salivate. It's hard to do roll out cookies here because of the heat, but iI will try on a cold day! Woot

[yoyomax12]

I understand that these would be very hard to do in a hot kitchen. You'd have to chill the dough in very small pieces.

[silverscreamgrl]

My mother loves Chai, I love gingerbread. What is not to love with this recipe, right?! :)

[yoyomax12]

They are a very spicy, tasty cookie. The tea flavour is not lost with all the sugar and ginger.

[edenbainbridge]

i love chi tea

these look great!

[RelaxxKiller]

Tammy, you are amazing!!! this will be on the cookie list this year!!!

Thank you!!

[yoyomax12]

I don't think you'll be disappointed by these cookies, they are very tasty.

[yoyomax2]

Those cookies look delicious!

Love you!

[yoyomax12]

Love you!

[mommunson]

wow you are the fastest mixer I have ever seen I thought Beth was but I think you have her beat.:)

I am bad I love making cookies I made 12 dozen diffrent kinds one year. I was home from work on leave so I baked. everyone got cookie that year.lol

[yoyomax12]

I love having holidays in November just so that I can bake to my heart's content! No time off this year, it will be challenge.

[Dlorezzz]

Tammy I am going to try these for Christmas this year.. I roll my cookies on parchment paper and they don't cling like they do on waxed paper. Just a hint.. Looking forward to the next one.. You make my Christmas so enjoyable with your recipe videos

[yoyomax12]

I will try the parchment idea next time. The wax paper does have a tendency to rip when you roll on it.

I certainly will take any advice from the cookie queen herself!

[Dlorezzz]

Very high praise from such a seasoned cook as yourself..

[saphyreXice]

Those look delicious Tammy :)

[yoyomax12]

Thanks Meg! Bake some and send them to Pete.

[PalmOliveSoap]

did some one mention Ginger, HELLO!

lol

SPRINKLES

[yoyomax12]

Ginger!!

See, mentioned it again. .lol.

[imperceptibleme]

MMMM they look so good and you are just so good at doing the cookie making! haha. Tammy what do you do? Make the cookies and then let them cool and then you freeze them until Christmas? Do you get them air tight in the freezer? Do they freeze well? Hugs and Smooches!

[yoyomax12]

I cool the cookies, but them in plastic freezer bags and freeze them until I'm ready to make my mixed cookie packages. I take all the cookies out of the freezer and start an assembly line so that each package gets a variety and then back in the freezer until it is time to mail them off

[thenudo]

YUMMMMMM!!! :) I do love your cooking shows :)

[yoyomax12]

Thanks Tony!

[wildheart5]

Beautiful looking dough! I bet they are just delicious. Probably a very snappy taste? Did you have to go out and buy all your baking supplies at once?

[yoyomax12]

They are a very spicy, tasty cookie, perfect with a cup of tea!

I buy the supplies as I need them. I go to the bulk store to get all of my Christmas cake fruit and nuts.

[ZeeJen]

MM these look sooo good.

Will have to try this out very very soon

[yoyomax12]

[yoyomax12]

[JustAVlogger]

[yoyomax12]

I will have to show my cookie cutter collection some day, I have HUNDREDS.

[JustAVlogger]

What is the french word for salt?

[yoyomax12]

French word for salt is "Sel"

[sunsetlover]

ok so is it just me or does at 2:13 the batter looks like it has a upside down cool face in it... ok sorry just being weird

[yoyomax12]

I didn't see the face at 2:3 but I did see an alien head at 2:44. I am also weird. lol.

[sunsetlover]

haha I meant 2:43 wow that was a epic fail.. I am so trying these thought... I am a HUGE Fan of chai

[bugsinrug]

Yes! I saw a face too!

[sunsetlover]

om my that sounds soooo good, chai is my favorite... that camera angle made me feel like I was falling into the bowl... I cant play games that have a high graphics either... haha ok I am weird

[thizizliz]

Oh yum! I found myself going over the list of ingredients in my heard as you listed them. I have loose chai but it's decaf. It tastes the same, so should work. Great idea. Thanks!

[yoyomax12]

Decaf would be exactly the same, it is the Chai spice that is important.

Thanks Liz!
