Spiced Chai Skull Cookie: a deliciously different, spiced sugar cookie infused with Teabloom’s Spiced chai tea. Shaped like spooky skulls, these cookies are perfect for Halloween, offering an elegant and intriguing flavor profile that stands out among the usual dessert fare.

Chai tea, a flavorful blend of black tea with spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves, adds a warming, aromatic quality to baked goods. Adding chai to a traditional sugar cookie recipe transforms this classic cookie into something extraordinary. The spices not only enhance the sweetness of the sugar but also create a cozy, slightly exotic flavor that feels perfect for chilly fall evenings.

How They Taste
Imagine biting into a soft, buttery cookie that melts in your mouth, with just enough sweetness to balance out the deep, warm chai spices. Unlike traditional sugar cookies, which can sometimes be overly sweet and simple, these chai-infused skull cookies have layers of flavor. The cinnamon and ginger add a gentle warmth, while the cardamom provides a hint of citrusy freshness, creating a cookie that's comforting and intriguing at the same time.

Each bite is an adventure in flavor, making these cookies perfect for a crowd looking to try something new. The subtle complexity of chai also pairs beautifully with a range of Halloween drinks—from hot cider to spiced lattes or even a pumpkin ale if you're feeling bold!
