  • ½ cup powdered sugar (60g)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • cups all-purpose flour (300g)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 black tea bag
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • tsp cardamom
  • allspice

Coating:

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F (176°C) and adjust a rack to the middle.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together ½ cup butter, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add ½ cup canola oil, 1 egg, and ½ tsp vanilla. Mix to incorporate. It's ok if a little chunky at this stage.
  • Add in 2¼ cups flour ~½ cup at a time, and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the remaining ingredients: ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp cream of tartar, ¼ tsp salt, tea from 1 black tea bag (cut and emptied into the bowl), ½ cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp ginger, ⅛ tsp cardamom, ⅛ tsp allspice. Mix on low until incorporated.
  • Make the cinnamon sugar by adding ¼ cup each of white sugar and cinnamon and mixing until combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop balls of dough into the cinnamon sugar and roll to coat. For large cookies, make ~17 balls, otherwise makes ~30 heaping Tbsp cookies
  • Place the dough balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes for large cookies, 8-10 for regular sized. Let cool.
