Why measure in grams?
If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!

Kitchen Equipment
Stand mixer with paddle attachment OR medium sized bowl with whisk and rubber spatula
oven tray
parchment paper
large cookie scooper (~1/3 cup)
circular cup/cookie cutter (optional)
piping bag
piping tips
Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to convection 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Beat room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a whisk or paddle attachment (stand mixer) until mixture turns an off-white color (1-2 minutes).
Mix in egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 3
Add All-Purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and chai spice into the mixture. Fold in dry ingredients.
Step 4
Scoop 1/3 cup of cookie dough and place cookie dough balls on a parchment paper lined tray.
Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes.
For perfectly circular cookies, use a circular bowl/cup/cookie cutter and swirl around your fresh cookie to make edges clean.
Then let cookies sit on tray for about 10 minutes before removing.
Step 5
For frosting, beat the butter until mixture turns off-white. Then add your powdered sugar until fully incorporated and mixture is slightly thick. Lastly add your heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ground coffee beans. Whip the mixture to let the heavy cream fluffen your mixture.
Step 6
Lastly, frost, in a swirl design, your frosting on top of the cookie. Repeat for each one. (I also added cinnamon sticks on top for decoration!)
