How To Make Taylor Swift Chair Sugar Cookie Recipe
With a few simple steps, you can make these delicious cookies; here are the step-by-step directions.
Cream the butter, oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
Slowly fold in the crushed-up chair tea leaves and mix well.
Slowly fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix well. Scrap the sides of the bowl to absorb all of the dry ingredients.
Chill the Dough:
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a disk.
- Wrap the dough disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175°C)—line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Shape and Bake the Cookies:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. Drizzle with the glaze, and sprinkle some granulated sugar on top.
How To Store and Freeze Chai Sugar Cookies
There is nothing better than making a double batch of homemade cookies, here are some tips to keep the cookies fresh!
Storing:
To keep your chai sugar cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. You can also place a slice of bread in the container to help maintain moisture and prevent the cookies from drying.
Reheating Chai Sugar Cookies:
If your chai sugar cookies have become slightly stale or you prefer them warm, you can quickly reheat them in the microwave or oven:
- Microwave Method:

Freezing Chai Sugar Cookies:
Chai sugar cookies freeze well, allowing you to enjoy them at a later time:
- Flash Freeze:
- Place the chai sugar cookies on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Freeze them for about 1-2 hours until they become firm.
- Storage:
- Transfer the partially frozen cookies to an airtight container or resealable freezer bag.
- Place parchment paper or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Label the container with the date and type of cookies.
- Freeze:
- Store the container in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
