Oatmeal Chai Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 30, 2021 by SouthernShelle Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Oatmeal Chai Chocolate Chip Cookies takes a normal oatmeal chocolate chip and takes it up a couple of clicks.  The warmth of the chai spice mix makes this the perfect breakfast cookie or anytime cookie. This recipe makes a thin, but chewy cookie that will disappear faster than you can imagine. 

Disclaimer: 

The “chai” spice mix is not by any stretch of the imagination “authentic”, but the combination of spices adds a nice warmth to a standard oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.  Be warned that the 6 and under set gave this cookie a thumbs down– but that’s because there was a strong aversion to the presence of oatmeal in a cookie.  

Ingredient Considerations

For the oatmeal, I used old fashioned oats instead of instant.  I’m not saying that instant oats won’t work, I’m just saying that I don’t know what will happen if you swap it out. 

For the chocolate chips, I used a mix of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 60% dark chocolate chips because I like the way the dark chocolate cuts some of the sweetness of the semi-sweet  chip.  I also pressed a few chocolate chips onto the top of the cookies as soon as they came out of the oven so that people clearly notice that this cookie does not have raisins in it. 

The Chai Spice: 

The chai spice mix that I use includes ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg and white pepper.  For the exact measurements, check out the recipe here. 

The recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of chai mix, but honestly it could probably have a touch more.  Season with your hearts. 

Make sure that if you are buying the chai spice that whatever you get does not have sugar in it because the recipe has enough sugar, I promise.   Check out the labels before using chai spice drink mix.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons chai seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

14 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups old fashioned oats
