Unbelievable, unusual, melt-in-your mouth. I made a double batch and 1" balls made 95 cookies. It was tough to tell when the cookies were browned enough because all the spices made them look the right color even when they were still raw dough. I had to go by smell and the color of the bottom of a cookie to tell whether they were done baking. I am going to give most of these away for Xmas gifts, then keep a tin in my freezer to serve unexpected guests. These will definitely become a tradition in my house for the holidays :)

I loved these cookies! I'm a huge fan of chai and i loved all the spices that go into these cookies. They have a great flavor and don't even need much powdered sugar to go on top.

These were alright, but the insides were a bit undone, so make sure you don't under-cook them. Also, I think the spices are a bit too strong, maybe tone down each spice just a bit especially the all-spice. Other than that, these would be great for fall time with a glass of milk or tea. My mother enjoyed them still even though they needed some changing.
