Nic's planting on the farm so Henry and I decided to make some chai spiced honey and spelt shortbread cookies to drop down to the tractor. These are Henry's favourite cookies and I put this recipe together last winter as I tend to go a bit chai crazy every winter. These are so lovely with a cup of tea and a good book.
Chai Spiced Honey Cookies
125 grams of butter
1/3 cup honey
2 cups of plain spelt flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder or bicarb soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cardamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius. Beat the honey and butter together until soft and well combined. Sift in dry ingredients and add vanilla extract. Continue to blend or stir until the mixture forms a soft dough. Roll into balls, flatten and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
