Cinnamon Chai Snowflakes

• Yield: about 80 cookies
• Oven: 350°F, 12:30 min

Ingredients

• 227g (1 cup, 2 sticks) butter
• 130g sugar (could increase)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 290g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cardamom
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp allspice

Cinnamon sugar

• 200g (1 cup) sugar
• 1/4 cup cinnamon

Instructions

1. Cream butter.
2. Gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually blend in flour and spices.
5. Fill the cookie press with 1/3 of the dough at a time and press shapes onto a room-temperature cookie sheet.
6. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the cookies; grabbing a pinch at a time works best.
7. Freeze the tray, then shake off the extra cinnamon sugar.
8. Thaw about 10 minutes.
9. Bake 12:30 minutes at 350°F.

Notes

• Make, press, and bake on the same day. Keep the dough and sheets at room temperature; dough that's been refrigerated or frozen beforehand doesn't press out well.
• A double batch is about 1354g of dough.
