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.

These cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of chai tea, but I loved these cakes! The spices were subtle and the glaze was the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cakes were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I might have overbaked them. Next time I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a good recipe. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of tea cakes, but these were surprisingly delicious. The chai spices gave them a unique and flavorful twist. I especially liked the crunchy sugar topping.

These chai-spiced tea cakes were a hit at my afternoon tea party! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a hint of cardamom and ginger. The cakes were moist and fluffy, and the glaze added a touch of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these agai
