Chai Tea Cookies
If you love chai tea, these cookies are for you! The word 'chai' or 'masala chai' is a catch-all for a spiced black tea drunk in great quantities throughout Southwest Asia and parts of Africa. Any bagged spiced black tea would be lovely in this recipe - cut them open and use the mix inside. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.
