These Chai Spiced Spritz Cookies are ultra-cozy with the warm spices of chai. It wouldn’t be the holidays without a batch a spritz cookies!
I’m coming at you again today with a new cookie for your holiday cookie tray. It’s been here a cookie, there a cookie, everywhere a cookie cookie around here for the last few weeks, and I’m not mad about it! These Chai Spiced Spritz Cookies will be one of the easiest cookies on the tray. And soooo delicious!
The warm spices of chai have always given me all the cozy warm feels, especially during the winter months. Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and allspice are well stocked in my spice cabinet for when the craving hits. My Chai Snickerdoodles are another favorite here at the BHK.
And who doesn’t love spritz cookies during the holiday season? My OXO cookie press does all the work, and I’m all in for easy during the busy holidays.
What is a spritz cookie?
Spritz cookies are a kind of German Christmas cookie called Spritzgeback. They’re made from flour, butter, sugar and eggs. They’re similar to a sugar cookie. The cookies are made by squirting the dough through a cookie press.

These cookies are light, buttery, sweet and crisp with just the perfect amount of chai flavor. The cookie press makes them super easy to make.
