I’ve always loved the taste of chai tea, so I decided to try to incorporate it into one of my recipes. Everyone who samples my shortbread can’t believe how delicious it is. —Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup vanilla chai tea latte mix
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped almonds
  • 1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. Place flour, sugar, cornstarch and latte mix in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter and vanilla; pulse until butter is the size of peas. Add almonds and chocolate chips; pulse until blended.
  2. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into 6 portions; wrap separately. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 5-in. circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  4. Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Drizzle with melted chocolate; let stand until set. Store in airtight containers.
