Chai Chocolate Chip Cookies for Creative Cookie Exchange

Chai Chocolate Chip Cookies

The theme this month is Wake Up From Winter with Coffee and Tea. I like both beverages but I can’t tolerate caffeine, does crazy things to me and I am already a little nutty. So I stick with non caffeinated products but I do like a bit of chocolate in my life I have to admit!!

I was given these wonderful spices for as a gift from my girlfriend Rina for baking. Unique spices, like spiced vanilla sugar, granulated orange peel and Chai Spice Baking Blend. Well, I cracked that Chai open and was so in love with the aroma!! I know how popular Chai tea is but I haven’t had one as they are always caffeinated. It would be a great spice to add to chocolate chip cookies. So off I went to make them!!

I love chocolate chip cookies and I just upped them with that delicious chai spice.

Crispy edges and soft centers make these cookies a delight!!
