Chai-Spiced Tea Cookies

Submitted by TexasToast R

"I had been wanting to try this recipe for a long time. I finally bought some ground cardamom (the only ingredient I didn't have around my house) and made them. They are so good-- buttery and fragrant with the delicious flavors of spiced chai tea. I believe I tore the recipe out from a free magazine I got at Whole Foods a few years ago. Great served with tea or coffee."
