Category: Cookies

This summer during my Maritime trip and tea run I came across oat cakes. I didn’t actually buy any or try any but they brought back memories of trying them in Glasgow, Scotland ages ago. So made a mental note and when I got back home decided I’d try and find a recipe. I found a few and then decided to modify them slightly to incorporate some tea in some way. I found this great Masala Chai spice mix in Toronto and decided to use that as the spice for the oat cake instead of adding just cinnamon and nutmeg. I think it’s a nice touch and chai spices always make the kitchen smell nice!

This recipe is a modification of the grand prize winner of the chocolate chip cookie contest in the reference below, [1]. This book was given to me by my mother years ago when I was still in university and exploring baking recipes. I’ve been wanting to really get that chai flavour into some recipes and I’m hoping I got it in this recipe. It smelled like chai in the kitchen when I was making the cookies and then when they came out of the oven all baked, very chai smelling. Even that first bite of the first cookie out of the oven had that sweet yet spicy taste that you get from a chai latte.
