I made Taylor Swift’s Chai Sugar Cookies recipe, and they were made for ‘cardigan’ season
These chai sugar cookies blend warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom into soft, golden cookies coated in a cinnamon-sugar crust. Easy to prep, quick to bake, and perfect for cozy seasons like fall or winter.
