Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 1 box White cake mix
  • 1/2 box Vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted
  • 1/3 cup White chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup Dried cranberries
  • 1 can Evaporated milk, infused with 7 tsp of Holiday Gingerbread or Vanilla Spice Chai loose tea

Frosting:

  • 8 oz. Cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup Butter softened
  • 1 Tbsp. Vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. The day before, make tea-infused milk by adding Holiday Gingerbread or Vanilla Spice Chai loose tea directly to the milk. Cover and place in the refrigerator to cold-steep overnight (8-12 hours). Then strain the milk before using.

  2. Pour cake mix into a mixing bowl and stir in 1/2 box of dry pudding mix. Stir in 1/3 cup of tea-infused milk and melted butter. Mix until there are no lumps. (Add a couple more teaspoons of infused milk if needed.) Stir in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

  3. Press mixture into a 9x13” pan and bake on 350º F for 25-30 minutes.

  4. While cookies are cooling, make frosting by creaming together the second set of ingredients. If it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar. Makes about 2 dozen bars.

Note:

  1. You can use the leftover tea-infused milk to flavor other recipes, or simply mix a bit in with your morning oatmeal.
