I love to make these cookies in the fall but they are good anytime of year. They are a basic sugar cookie with the added flavors of chai tea. Especially delicious when served warm.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon each:  ground cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
