She has also prepared the cookies for her fans on several occasions, for example during private sessions in which she played the songs from her album '1989'.
What do we need to make these delicious cookies? Let's grab a pencil and paper.
First of all, these are the ingredients you need:
2 cups of flour (250 grams)
1 egg
1/2 cup of unsalted butter (100 grams)
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of granulated sugar (100 grams)
1/2 of powdered sugar (100 grams)
and 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract.
But there's more...
The cookies also require 1 chai tea bag, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
For the frosting, you need 1½ cups of powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk.
Now it's time to grab your apron and get to work making it.
But before we start making the dough, we must first preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 Fahrenheit) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Now, you will get your hands dirty. Beat the butter and add the oil. Then add the granulated sugar, the icing sugar, the egg, and the vanilla extract.
And then comes the special addition of Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies to the mix: open the chai tea ball and mix it with the dough.
Meanwhile, we also mix the flour with the baking soda and salt, before adding and mixing it with the other sought. We refrigerate the resulting mix for one hour.
Next, take the dough and start making balls. You will then flatten those balls using the palms of your hands.

Sprinkle with granulated sugar and then put them in the oven for 8-11 minutes. You see, it's really not that difficult to make them!
And once they have cooled, we mix the ingredients for the glaze and put it on top. We let it rest for 10 minutes... et voilà! We now have the most famous cookies on social media and Taylor Swift's favorite.
