chai-spiced cookies
Kind of like a spicy mexican wedding cake. Coated with spiced powdered sugar. Go ahead, try them, you won't be disappointed. I was skeptical, then I was plesantly surprized. I believe this recipe came from a Betty Crocker Cookie Cookbook Holiday Edition.

Step 2Shape dough by *tablespoonfuls into balls. On ungreased cookie sheet, place dough balls 1 1/2 inch apart. I always line my cookie sheets with parchment paper.
