These cookies are like chai spiced Mexican Wedding Cakes. I love the flavor and hope you will, too.

A friend gave me this one and tells me it was from a Christmas issue of a magazine she gets.

How to Make Chai Spiced Tea Cakes

Step-by-Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, both extracts, spices and salt in a medium bowl. Beat in the flour. Stir in almonds.

Using hands, roll dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place on a large baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until pale golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Place 1 cup powdered sugar in a large bowl. Working in batches, gently coat the hot cookies in sugar. Cool the cookies on a rack. Roll again in sugar and serve.
