    Those chai slice and bake cookies are a mix between classic vegan sugar cookies and modern chai spices! Imagine a cup of warm chai tea latte and your favorite buttery cookies to go with it – that’s about how tempting these vegan chai slice and bake cookies taste.

    They are incredibly delicious, sweet, and crunchy! Yet they are dairy-free, egg-free, and made with less sugar than most slice and bake cookies.

    The buttery vegan shortbread cookie dough is enhanced with the most delicious chai spices. Thus, giving them not only a wonderful flavor but also a stunning swirled dough pattern!

    One of the best things about slice and bake cookies is that they are generally very easy to handle and can be sliced into cookies within a minute – all you need is a sharp knife! Forget about rolling out the dough, nor are cookie cutters required.

    All in all, an effortless Christmas cookies recipe that requires little to no baking skills. Can even be handled by baking beginners. 😉

    Chai slice and bake cookies are perfect for sharing as a gift or enjoying with your family!

    • Mix ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Sprinkle ¾ of the mixture over the dough and mix it lightly using your hands. → Don’t completely fold the spices into the dough so that you can still see a beautiful “pattern”.
    • Turn the dough onto a work surface and shape it into a 10-inch (25cm) long rog. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
