Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chai spice blend (or a mix of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and chai spice blend.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/4 cups of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a shallow dish, combine the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  7. Roll spoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can make your own chai spice blend by combining 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of black pepper.
  • For a stronger chai flavor, you can add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of chai spice to the dough.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
