Chai Time — Chai Cake Ball Stuffed Cookie Recipe
Warm spice heaven in cookie form.
Chai Time features a soft, buttery brown-sugar cookie dough loaded with cozy chai spices and creamy baking chips… stuffed with a beautifully spiced chai cake ball that’s dense, moist, and perfectly sweet — without relying on frosting to hold it together.

The chai cake ball is tender and rich on its own, letting the spices shine while keeping the overall bite balanced and bakery-worthy. Every bite tastes like a warm mug of chai on a crisp day — comforting, fragrant, and indulgent without being heavy.
