Chai Pumpkin Spice Thumbprint Cookies

Yesterday was just one of those days where I felt like baking for no reason. I've been wanting to make these Chai Pumpkin Spice Thumbprint Cookies that I found via Pinterest  for the past year, and I'm so glad I finally did! I love chai (both authentic and the Americanized lattes), so if I can make a cookie out of one of my favorite drinks, then I'm all about it!

What You Need
-1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup chai concentrate
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flower
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chai spice mix
- 24 pumpkin spice Hershey's Kisses

What You Do
1. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together butter (1/2cup) and sugar (1/2cup) until well combined. Add the chair concentrate (1/4cup), egg (1), and vanilla extract (1tsp) until blended together.

2. Mix the flour (1 3/4cup), baking soda (1/2tsp), salt (1/8tsp), and chai spice mix (1/2tsp) with the wet ingredients until incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. Pop them into the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the bottom edges turn golden brown. In the meantime, unwrap them pumpkin kisses.

5. Remove cookies from oven and immediately place the pumpkin kisses in the center of each cookie.  Let cool completely and have a couple while watching your favorite holiday movie!
