Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies Recipe (with Glaze!)
Chewy and delicious Chai Cookies frosted to perfection, just like Taylor’s version! Warm sugar cookies loaded with warm chai spices and topped with a simple eggnog glaze. The perfect Fall cookie recipe!
Servings: 12 cookies (approx)
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar, plus more for topping
- 1 egg at room temperature (can use flax egg)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cup blanched almond flour
- 3 tbsp coconut flour or gluten free AP flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1-2 chai tea bags
Eggnog Glaze
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp egg nog or any milk, plus more if needed (I used store-bought egg nog)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together, butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Add in almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Cut open the tea bags and add the tea. Stir together until a dough forms.
- Use your hands to roll the dough into 12 balls, about 1½ inch in diameter. Drop them on the baking sheet 2-3 inches apart and use your hands to flatten them to about ½ inch.
- Sprinkle with more sugar on top, then bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- In a bowl, stir together ingredients for the glaze until thick but spreadable. You can add a bit more egg nog if the mixture is too thick.
- Frost each cookie. If you want, sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon, and enjoy!

Notes
Expert Tips
- To make this vegan, use coconut oil instead of butter and flax egg instead of an egg.
- For the frosting, I used store-bought egg nog like this one. However, you can just use any kind of milk if you don't have egg nog on hand. It'll still be delicious.
- Instead of a mixing bowl and whisk, feel free to use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Storage Tips
- You can store these Taylor Swift chai cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
- I recommend storing with parchment paper in between each cookie so the frosting doesn't stick.
