You know those days, where you just want to bake something? You have a pile of cookies, and other various baked goods, but you have the feeling that you need to bake?
..Or is that just me. Anyways, if you are anything like me, I constantly need to be baking something. So whenever the oven is on for anything (potatoes, casseroles…) I need to add something sweet to the mix.
This time: cookies.
See, the thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t make many cookies. Like, at all. This literally only made 5 cookies: all the cookies in the picture. And they have no butter or eggs, so it seems pretty healthy.
Yeah I know, I think I would prefer a non-healthy all out butter fest in cookie form, but this is great as a snack when you just want a healthy pick me up.

These sound great! I love the chai flavor!
This is so ideal. I love healthy cookies! The fact that it only makes 5 cookies is perfect… no overeating or binging on sweets! LOVE IT!

I'm a big fan of better fests too! But chai tea has a lovely flavor, and I think I'd enjoy these cookies.
These cookies look delicious ! Lovely flavor as well !
recipe sounds awesome..
Egg less, I would love to try these and taste it.
These look like they turned out beautifully. Baking without eggs and butter is so much better for you, but I understand what you mean about enjoying something made with all the other goodies. Great recipe thanks for sharing. I love the hint of cookie flavour.
That instant coffee powder does the trick I suppose.
Simply YUM & what a great combo! Amazing! 🙂
A 5 cookie recipe is a great idea! Perfect for when you really want just a bite (I can eat a whole batch of cookies over the course of a day – no willpower!). Really nice – thank you.
These look so yummy!

Great vcombo!

Chai Latte cookies that are vegetarian?! Ohmygosh. I need to try this asap!
so yummy! i love the taste of chai. great recipe never would have thought of it 🙂
What would work best instead of instant coffee powder? Would ground coffee work?
Not really. I would put in some very strong coffee instead. Let me know if you try it out!
Can I use any other kind of spiced tea
Yes you definitely can!
I’ve always been curious about the flourless banana cookies, so I tried these… I also never thought to incorporate chai straight from the tea bag! It worked out, and they are yummy! I got 8 smaller ones out of it. I didn’t have the instant coffee on hand, but they still turned out great. Thanks for the recipe!
I am so glad you liked it! Thanks Mary 🙂
Was in the hunt for a “1 ripe banana” recipe and thank goodness for writing an article about “10 things to make with only 1 ripe banana!“
Have to admit I wasn’t sure at first, but loved your “easy, short list ingredients” approach!
It was yummy! I didn’t have any chai tea bags but used 1 tsp of my roasted chai mate loose leaf tea (bigger tea grains, but I tried it first without grinding finer), and it still worked. Taste is definitely reminiscent of a chai, but I think not as strong simply because I used a mate chai.
Your site is definitely a great find!!!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thanks Angel 🙂
Just add the sugar when it’s all mixed?
Oh no sorry! Forgot to add it to the directions. Thanks for catching that!
