My classmate in school loves the Indian Chai. She always keeps asking for Chai. In many of the Coffee Chains like Starbucks, Peets coffee etc Chai has become a famous drink.Although they call it Chai tea- which actually means tea tea, because Chai means tea. I remember waking up to my mom and dad with a hot cup of chai in their hands. My mom loved to drink the Chai made by my dad. With Christmas around the corner, what better time to make a cookie from the Indian Chai spice.This is a basic cookie flavored with Indian Tea and Chai Masala.This makes a perfect accompaniment to dunk in your coffee or holiday drinks.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
