Nothing says “warm & cozy” like a hot cup of chai and a good book on a chilly autumn afternoon. And what’s belongs next to that cozy cup of tea and book? A cookie! Perhaps even two if it’s been one of those days. I’ve got the perfect fall afternoon snack for you right here with these delicious dairy-free chai oatmeal cookies full of dried mixed berries. I think we can all agree to call it healthy too seeing as there are oatmeal and fruit in it, yes?! Phew!

Homemade Dairy-Free Chai Oatmeal Cookies
This cookie recipe is a play-off of my chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe. With a fresh container of homemade chai mix, it was easy to add to the cookie dough and it coupled well with a generous helping of dried mixed berries to add a bit of sweetness to the spicy warmth. I’ll leave my homemade chai mix recipe down below but feel free to use a pre-made store-bought one instead.
I use my chai spice all the time in oatmeal, muffins, or coffee. These cookies bake up quite flat and chewy with a crisp golden brown outer edge. They require no chill time (winning!) and are ready to eat in under 30 minutes. Oh, and did I mention you can make this dairy-free as well? You’re welcome! So start the mixer and steep your tea. An autumn afternoon chai oatmeal cookie cozy is coming up.
