I love the taste of vanilla chai tea so much that I make my own dry tea mix at home, as well as chai-flavored coffee creamer. This was just one more way to enjoy the wonderful flavor of chai tea, in an airy light, spicy cookie!

Steps:
- Make the sauce:
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the cream and the brown sugar, bring the mixture to a boil over moderately high heat, whisking occasionally, and boil it, whisking, until the brown sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolates, and whisk the mixture until they are melted. Whisk in the butter and the cinnamon, whisking until the sauce is smooth, and let the sauce cool slightly. The sauce may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the sauce over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
- Make the meringues:
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites until they are foamy, add the cream of tartar, and beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating, and beat the meringue until it holds stiff peaks. Sift the cocoa powder and the cinnamon over the meringue and fold them in gently but thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip and pipe it into 5-inch rounds on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake the meringues in the middle of a preheated 250°F. oven for 1 1/2 hours and let them cool on the sheets. The meringues may be made 10 days in advance and kept, separated with sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container. Arrange 1 meringue on each of 2 plates and top each meringue with a scoop of the ice cream and some of the cinnamon chocolate sauce.

Tips
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter or dough.
- Don't overmix your batter or dough: Overmixing can make your cookies tough and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill your dough before baking: This will help your cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake your cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cookies. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
- Don't overbake your cookies: Overbaking can make your cookies dry and crumbly. Bake your cookies just until they are set around the edges but still soft in the center.

With a little planning and attention to detail, you can easily make delicious cinnamon cookies and cream meringues at home. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
