Condensed Milk Cookies with Golden Milk and Chai Spice Icing Spicewalla Team 11/12/2020 Share Pin Tweet Photo by: Veda Sankaran Do we need to give you a reason to have more cookies in your life? We didn't think so, but just in case, our friend Veda Sankaran gave us a reason to try something new with these divine Condensed Milk Cookie Recipes. A soft milky cookie with a hint of Spicewalla's cardamom and topped with our fave spice blends of Golden Milk and Chai Masala in the cream cheese icing. For those who don’t like cardamom, it’s easy to leave it out of the batter. Veda says, "The inspiration came from my desire to create a cookie that captures the taste of traditional milk sweets and evokes quintessentially Indian flavors like golden milk and chai spice. As someone bridging two cultures, I wanted to marry both of my worlds together in this dessert." So come on now, give 'em a whirl!
