2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 c All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and chai spice.
2 c All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda, 1 ½ tablespoon Chai Spice
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars.

Notes

Storage. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Spoon and level your flour! You should never pack flour into a measure cup. If you do, you will get a dense cookie and it won't be near as good. To spoon and level flour, start by fluffing up your flour before spooning it into your measuring cup and then leveling it off.

Let your ingredients come to room temperature! When ingredients are too cold, they don't blend together very well. Having all of your ingredients at room temperature allows them to combine seamlessly and in turn, gets you the best texture for your cookies.
