Fall is here and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is coming soon. What better way to celebrate the season than with Taylor Swift’s Chai Cookie recipe?

The “New Romantics” singer debuted her viral cookies on Instagram when she was recording 1989 Secret Sessions. A fan on Tumblr demanded the recipe, and Taylor effortlessly reblogged the recipe filled with puns and delight. With a simple “MMMMKAY,” she gave us the most iconic fall cookie to date. Chai and cookies combined? Absolute bliss.

The Grammy Award-winning musician went in with the details for this chai cookie recipe. There’s one way to do it which takes no effort. “The quick and easy way is to make sugar cookies from a sugar cookie mix and just cut open a packet of chai tea and pour it into the batter as you make it. Cause you’re busy and you want making cookies to be a chill part of your day. Pow. Done.” she wrote.

Though she swears by the homemade recipe. “This is a recipe for basic insanely good sugar cookies. I added the chai element to the recipe because I thought it would infuse cozy holiday vibez into the cookie and it really did.” She cited a recipe for Joy The Baker, but we condensed down the Chai cookie recipe to be as easy as ever.

And while you’re baking those cookies, might as well listen to 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on repeat right? Buy 1989 (Taylor’s Version) with these cool Target exclusives.
