Get ready to shake it off in the kitchen with Taylor Swift's Chai Sugar Cookies and Eggnog Icing on top. Perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or as a sweet treat while listening to your favorite Taylor Swift songs.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer bowl, beat butter and oil, about 1 minute on medium speed. Beat in powdered sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, until well incorporated.
Add flour, salt, baking soda, and cut open one packet of chai tea, pouring in the dry contents. Mix until you see no dry flour, do not overmix. This will be a very soft dough. Cover and chill for 1 hour so it is easier to handle.
Scoop the dough into 1-2 tablespoon sized balls. Roll into extra granulated sugar or sprinkle sugar on top. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be soft.In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog or eggnog flavoring, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. The icing should be thick but spreadable.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or drizzle the eggnog icing over the tops. Allow the icing to set before serving or storing the cookies. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!
