Okay, so earlier I shared with you my Gingerbread Chai Latte Recipe and nothing pairs more perfectly than these Chai Latte Snickerdoodles….it takes me back to that snowy daydream!
There’s just something about chai spice that takes me to a cold winter day and snickerdoodles are a total Christmas treat….so why not combine them. Then just dunk them in a little bit of melted Godiva white chocolate for a little added decadence.
When you pair these Chai Latte Snickerdoodle cookies with a nice warm Gingerbread Chai Latte you are transformed from your crazy toy filled living room and piles of laundry to a warm and snuggly chair by the fireplace. Just close your eyes and take a big whiff of the latte and a little nibble of cookie and you’ll dream of Christmas music wafting through the air with the sounds of embers crackling in the fireplace. You’ll want to pull the oversized cozy blanket tighter around you as the fresh snow falls outside.
Ah, the power of daydreams…..just taken a moment can totally lift you out of that winter funk and brighten your holiday spirit! So I highly suggest giving this Chai Latte Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe a try…they make the perfect treat for a cookie exchange too!
