Delicious! I used Tea Masala (original chai tea spice blend) and used about 3 tsp for a nice chai tea kick. I'll definitely make these again....soon.

Who knew that finding ground Cardamom is hard? I finally found some but they were not ground. It's like crunchy potent bites of flavor.

This recipe was a big hit! I made them with Bob's Red Mill GF All-Purpose Flour and they turned out really well.

I made these non-gluten free about 10 times now, and they are delicious! I play around with the amount of spice each time, depending on how I'm feeling, and have yet to find the place where I have too much cinnamon and ginger. ;)<br/><br/>I do have to add a splash of milk to make the dough workable, perhaps because I'm living in a pretty dry client.

Yum! I found these a melt in my mouth kind of treat. I love the blend of the chai-like flavors. and truly loved how easy they are to make! Unfortunately, I must share with others. Thanks for posting this recipe. I'll be making these again.
