I’ve wanted to infuse the flavor of chai into cookies for a while now and thought this the perfect time since the weather is cooling down, the leaves are starting to turn, and I’ve officially started craving hot tea every single day.

Oh man, these are a total win. *Learn about the fascinating origins of chai here!
