    Chai Sugar Cookies

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These chai sugar cookies are soft, chewy, and have the perfect amount of chai spice. Seriously, these went quick at my house (and there’s only two of us). Don’t skip rolling the dough in the chai sugar, and don’t forget to leave a review!

    What ingredients do I need to make this?

    • Flour
    • Granulated sugar
    • Light brown sugar
    • Chai spice mix (homemade or store bought)
    • Baking powder
    • Salt
    • Baking soda
    • Unsalted butter
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla extract

    What is chai?

    Chai is a tea made from black tea and a mixture of herbs and spices. The most popular spices to make chai with are cardamom, cinnamon, fennel, black pepper and cloves. However, there are different variations of chai that include different spices. My homemade chai spice mix includes cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, pepper, nutmeg, and cloves. Some stores carry chai spice mix, or you can order it online, but I prefer to make my own! Find other recipes that include chai spice mix here!

    Do I need to use unsalted butter?

    I’ve never made these cookies with salted butter, but honestly I make all my other cookies with salted and unsalted butter interchangeably and don’t see a difference. I think they would still turn out great but can’t vouch for it!
