Biscoff Chai Or Cookie Butter Chai
Biscoff Chai or Cookie Butter Chai is a mash up of Masala Chai and cookie butter. I think Biscoff cookies taste great dipped in chai so combining them was a natural next step 😊
This hot drink is ready in a few minutes with black tea, few spices, sugar and Biscoff cookie butter.
The intensity of the spicy flavor can be adjusted to your preference. You can also use a chai spice blend if you have it on hand.
Chai spice goes with a lot of flavors. If you like experimenting with chai, try out Rose Chai, Chocolate Chai, or Christmas Morning Chai.

Ingredient Notes
Black tea – You can use either loose black tea or tea bags. I always use the Wagh Bakri brand for loose tea when making chai. My family used to use Lipton tea bags before the switch over to loose tea. Indian black teas are easy to find online and in your local Indian grocery store.
Sugar – I’ve used white sugar. Feel free to use the sweetener of your choice. Brown sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and honey all work. Just taste and adjust to your preference for sweetness.
Milk – I usually use 2% milk. You can also use whole milk for a creamier cup. Feel free to substitute with plant-based milk for a vegan option.
Variations / Substitutions
Chocolate flavor: Chocolate syrup, cocoa nibs, or melted chocolate chips
Mix up the spices used: Some ideas include green cardamom, Star anise, black pepper, fennel seeds, ground cinnamon
Feel free to use ginger root (fresh ginger), cardamom pods (crushed), whole cloves, and cinnamon sticks.
Cold chai: Let it cool and blend with ice for a chai cookie butter frappe or mix with ice cubes for an iced version
Making it vegan: Substitute plant-based milk to make this recipe vegan. I would go with oat milk or something like Ripple (available in the US) as they are thicker and will make a creamier chai.
Masala chai powder vs your spice blend: You can use either your own instant mix of masala chai powder or the spices as I’ve outlined in the recipe card below.
