chai cookies with creamy apple cider filling

When you’re in need of something warm, spicy and sweet to cheer you up, it’s hard to go past a humble cup of chai. We’re big fans of the wholesome beverage – especially when the days get shorter and the mercury drops. If you too consider yourself a chai-lover, then perhaps you’ll get a kick out of this scrummy recipe for chai oatmeal cookies (which happen to be stuffed with an apple cider and cream-cheese filling). Find the deets over at the rather aptly-titled food blog, A Cookie Named Desire, fire up the oven and, if you're feeling a bit cheeky, pop the kettle on – these bikkies were born to be dunked in a big mug of chai. 

To accompany you while you embark on your next culinary quest, we’ve cooked up some lovely kitchen merch, including three colourful tea towels and a flower-power apron. The designs are pulled straight from the pages of the frankie 2022 diary, which is full of vintage kitchen-inspired artwork by Pilgrim Hodgson. Find the lot over at the frankie shop.
