Can I make these without freshly milled flour?

Yes and yes! Just use the same measurement called for in the recipe. It's a simple 1:1 substitution.

Can I use eggnog instead of milk for the glaze?

Yes! It's perfect for a festive twist on these cookies.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! These cookies stay soft for several days when stored in an airtight container. You can also make the dough ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking.

What chai tea works best?

Any traditional chai tea bag works beautifully. Since you're using the loose tea inside the bag, choose one with warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves.

Hi, I’m Ruby, the girl behind Ruby’s Cozy Cottage. ♡ This is my little corner of the internet for cozy recipes, everyday diaries, books, films, music, outfits, seasonal days, and all the things I’m currently loving. I’m a baker, reader, chronic room-rearranger, playlist maker, and forever fangirl. I love rainy afternoons, getting far too attached to fictional characters, making something sweet just because, and finding little things to look forward to in ordinary days. Around the Cottage, you’ll find recipes to make, books and films to add to your list, cozy ideas for home and the seasons, and little glimpses of everyday life. Some posts are here to inspire you, and others are simply here because I wanted to share them. If you love good books, baking something sweet, comfort movies, cozy rooms, seasonal traditions, and having a place on the internet where you can simply wander for awhile, I think you’ll feel right at home here. Welcome to the Cottage. I’m so happy you found it. ♡
