  8. Mix together sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and cloves for rolling.
  9. Use a cookie scoop to roll each ball of dough in the chai sugar mixture.
  10. Place 6 cookie dough balls on each cookie sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  11. Let cookies sit on the hot pan for 6 minutes before rolling tops in chai sugar again. Move to a wire rack to cool completely.
