Instructions

In a small bowl whisk together the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of chai-spice. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chai-spice.
Put the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl then pour the melted butter over them. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the oil. Add in the egg yolk, vanilla and milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the dry ingredients in with the wet and stir together with a rubber spatula until everything is incorporated. Place the bowl of dough in the freezer to chill for about 10 minutes.
While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350° F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the freezer and scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough. Use your hands to roll the dough into a ball, then roll it in the chai-spice sugar. Evenly space all 12 balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a drinking glass to flatten the balls until they are 2 inches in diameter.
Sprinkle the tops with more chai-spice sugar then place them on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 11-13 (rotating the cookie sheet halfway through the baking time) minutes or until the edges are set and they are just starting to brown.
Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
