2 large eggs
1 tsp Sicilian Sea Salt
1 1/2 Tbs Spicewalla Chai Spice
1 Tbs vanilla
5 3/4 c. all purpose flour
Preparation

- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove dough from the fridge and preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Roll out dough with a rolling pin and dust extra flour on the surface to prevent sticking. Cut into desired shapes and be sure to brush off excess flour with a pastry brush before placing cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze cookies on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to prevent the cookies from spreading and losing their shape.
