Recipe: Chai Almond Shortbread Cookies

We know how it feels when a sugar craving hits you. These Chai Almond Shortbread cookies are a healthy option that will satisfy your sugar craving.

These crisp and buttery cookies are laced with a delicious nutty chai flavour that your friends and family will love. The beauty of this recipe is that it calls for Tagatose. If you're scratching your head at what this is, it's a low-calorie healthy substitute for sugar. It's a natural sweetener found in milk that is not quite as sweet as sugar but still a great substitute. It has a clean, neutral taste. If you want to learn more about sugar substitutes, Nat Geo baked a number of cakes with different artificial sugars: How Sugar Substitutes Stack Up. This recipe also requires chai syrup. You can buy this at most grocery stores or you can make your own: recipe here. We believe that anything baked at home is going to be fresher, better tasting and better for you than anything packaged and processed that you buy from the grocery store. How can it not when you add the time, attention and love?

Servings:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of Almond Flour • 3 Tablespoons softened butter • 3 Tablespoons Tagatose • 1/8 Salt • 1 Tablespoon of Chai Syrup

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl (or stand mixer) combine all of the ingredients listed above.
  2. Preheat oven to 325 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Mix all of the ingredients together until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Scoop 1” balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You could use a teaspoon cookie scoop or just roll them in your hands. Arrange the ball of dough about 1 ½” to 2” apart, then use a fork to flatten each cookie to about 1/4 “thick.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. (keep in mind Tagatose browns at a lower temperature than sugar so keep an eye on the cookies) Remove the cookies from the over and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes.
  6. Enjoy with a cup of tea and remember to share with friends and family
