Gluten Free Vanilla Chai Cookies

July 18, 2014 by Werona

These little cookies are not overly sweet, but have a delightful spiced flavor.   If you love drinking Chai, or any other type of tea, they are the perfect companion.

Chai is the word for tea in many parts of the world – one of them being India.  When my love traveled to India a few years ago, he loved the Chais he was able to drink there.   They were much more peppery and less sweet than the Chai’s we find in America.

As this is a cookie, I think it leans more towards what most American’s regard as Chai.   With the addition of vanilla extract, there is a light vanilla flavor mixed in with the mandatory spices that make Chai.

Vanilla Chai Cookies

I have made these cookies using gluten free flours. If you would like to make them using wheat flour, cut out the brown rice, tapioca and potato starch flours and substitute 1 heaped cup of regular all-purpose flour.
