Bondi Chai Crusted Ginger Spice Biscuits

2011-08-29T19:26:00.000-07:00

For all our fans who love to bake cookies here is a recipe for you to try.

Kirsti from the Harris Farm Markets Food Crew put a recipe together for Bondi Chai Crusted Ginger Spice Biscuits which she says "flew" out the door at her instore demonstrations.

2 tsp Bondi Chai, 1tsp ground ginger, 1/2 Cup butter (softened), 1 Cup raw sugar, 1 1/2 Cups plain four, 1 egg.

Cream butter and sugar, fold in egg and ground ginger. Add flour and form into a firm dough. Roll into a log and roll in the Bondi Chai powder. Cover with cling film and chill the cookie dough for 20 minutes. Slice off biscuits and cook for 10-15 minutes.

Kirsti tells me the Chai Crust also works well with plain biscuits.

If you've got any favourite Bondi Chai recipes tell us what they are so we can share them.
