Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together. Add in half of the chai latte powder and the water. Mix well.
Stir in the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined.
In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add it to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Roll the balls into the remaining chai latte powder and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes. Meanwhile, unwrap the kisses.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place a kiss in the middle. Do not touch after placing the kiss in the middle.
Allow to cool completely, at least 2 hours, before removing from the baking sheet or else the kisses will turn into chocolate puddles.
