Chewy Chai Cookies

This tea-inspired snickerdoodle recipe makes an autumnally appropriate cookie. From the food blog Crepes of Wrath, the chewy chai snickerdoodles are topped with a crunchy cinnamon sugar that will make your mouth water. Perfectly paired with a cold glass of milk or even a fall-flavored warm beverage, the cookies are crispy on the outside, nice and chewy in the middle, with a chai center and rolled in raw sugar and spicy cinnamon. There's also a pinch of ground cardamom in there.

The snickerdoodle recipe is adapted from the cookbook 'A Year of Cozy' and calls for ingredients including vanilla extract, cream cheese and spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, allspice, freshly ground black pepper and granulated sugar that mimic that chai tea taste.
