Cinnamon Chai Shortbread Cookies

1.Using a mixer, cream together butter and sugar.

2.Add salt, cinnamon, and tea, and mix until combined.

3.Gradually add flour at a low speed. The mixture will be dry and crumbly at first but will combine to form a soft dough.

4.Mold dough into a 10-inch log, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.

5.Preheat oven to 350°F.

6.Once dough is firm, remove plastic wrap. With a serrated bread knife, cut log into half-inch slices. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, and place slices 2 inches apart.

7.Bake 22 to 25 minutes, until edges are golden brown.

8.While cookies cool, prepare glaze by mixing tea and sugar with a whisk until smooth.

9.Spoon glaze over cooled cookies, and allow glaze to set.

10.Serve with a warm mug of homemade chai.
