For the cookies
- 1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup canola oil (could use vegetable or olive oil)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 chai tea bag
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tablespoon cardamom
For the icing

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Beat butter and add canola oil.
Add brown sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla and beat to combine.
Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and tea bag contents.
Chill the soft dough for about 1 hour in the fridge.
Combine cinnamon, cardamom, and granulated sugar in a small bowl.
Scoop out about 12 tablespoons worth of dough, form them into balls, and roll them to coat them in the spice sugar mix.
Spray your cookie sheet and add the roughly 12 cookie balls, leaving some room between each ball.
Press evenly with a flat spoon or measuring cup.
Bake for about 9 to 12 minutes in the oven or until the bottom edges start to brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before adding frosting.
In a small bowl, combine the milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a fork or whisk.
Spoon the icing over the tops of each cookie.
Allow the icing to dry or firm up before serving.
