Cisse, 29, had earlier apologised for his part in the incident, which happened during Manchester United's 1-0 win at Newcastle on Wednesday.
Defender Evans, 27, has denied deliberately spitting at Cisse.
Both players face a six-game ban if found guilty and have until 18:00 GMT on Friday to respond to the charge.
Cisse would also have to miss an additional game having already received a ban this season.
The FA said in a statement: "The charges are in relation to an alleged breach of FA Rule E1[a] in that in or around the 38th minute of the game the two players spat at each other."
The incidents were not seen by the match officials but caught on video. A three-man panel of former referees reviewed the footage on Thursday and agreed the players should have been sent off, prompting the FA to bring a charge.
Cisse had already issued a statement apologising for his role in the episode.
This is really ridiculous...are they kids? At least its not biting----some will say! Such behavior should be discouraged!
