Ingredients
Chai Spice Cookies
- 4 ounces unsalted butter soft
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons masala spice blend (see notes)

Instructions
For the chai spice cookies:
- Cream butter and sugar until soft and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Stir in sour cream and vanilla.
- Whisk together flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture and fold in until mixed.
- Chill dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes - this will make it easier to scoop and roll.
For the spiced sugar:
- Whisk together powdered sugar and spices.
To make the cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop cookie dough balls and roll them in powdered sugar mix, shaking off any excess sugar.
- Place rolled cookies on prepared baking sheets about two inches apart and bake for 10-13 minutes, until tops of cookies spring back when touched and bottoms of cookies are golden brown.
- Allow to cool before eating.
