Whether you enjoy visiting malls and shops crowded with people buying or not, chef Kathy Gunst has another idea. Stay home. Do some simple cooking, get creative with wrapping up your creations and give the loving gift of homemade food and treats.
A confession: I do not enjoy shopping during the holidays. Don’t get me wrong. I love to shop at other times of the year, but there’s just something about the holiday shopping frenzy that makes everything feel like …. Strangely, shopping during this hectic time of year just sucks the air out of the experience for me.
To make chai: bring 1 cup water to a rolling boil. Stir 1 tablespoon of the chai mixture to the boiling water, reduce to, cover and cook for 5 minutes. If the heat is too high it will reduce the flavor of the saffron. The longer you let the chai sit the stronger it will be. The chocolate is now ready. Use a tablespoon and drop rounds of chocolate onto the prepared cookie sheet. If you want to get a little fancy and have more “perfect” rounds, you can place the melted chocolate into a pastry bag and pipe the chocolate onto the cookie sheet.
Stir in the remaining water, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and 3 cups of the flour with a wooden spoon to make a wet dough. Beat in the remaining flour to make a shaggy dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly flour dusted work surface and knead by hand until pliable and shiny, 8 to 10 minutes. Form into a ball.
