Chai Cookies

The combination of chai spices in these cookies makes them truly flavorful and fragrant. Serve them up with a cup of your favorite hot herbal tea for a tasty and comforting treat. All the chai spices included in this recipe have benefits, but let’s take a look at just a couple of them.

Cardamom increases bile production and brings life and beneficial, nontoxic heat back to stagnant, sluggish livers that have overheated for years and are now cooling down. Cardamom’s heat ignites homeostasis.

Ginger helps calm spasms in the liver and regulate liver heat—it can heat up the liver, perking it up out of stagnation, or cool a very hot liver, balancing it out, depending on what’s needed.

Chai Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup softened coconut oil (not melted)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/3 cup brown rice flour
• 1/3 cup oat flour
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/4 ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2-3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, and coconut sugar until you get a uniform mixture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, brown rice flour, oat flour, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, ground ginger, baking powder, and baking soda.

Add the dry mixture to the wet in two parts, stirring to form a stiff dough. Add almond milk as needed. Chill dough in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Using a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop, scoop the dough and drop onto prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before placing cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.

Best kept at room temperature in an airtight container.
