  • 1 Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a more robust chai flavor, consider adding an extra 1/4 teaspoon of chai spice mix. Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing, and don't overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies. If you like a bit of texture, try adding chopped nuts or white chocolate chips to the dough.
