ISO Chai Tea Cookie Recipe

[cinbis]

I saw a recipe in January's Bon Appetit for Chai Tea Cookies the other day while waiting to get my hair cut. Can anyone post it for me? I couldn't find it on Epicurious. Also wondering if there are any reviews.
Thanks.

Is this it? I haven't made it yet but it's on my to try list the next time I need to bake cookies.


Chai Spiced Almond Cookies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recipe By: Bon Apetit
Serving Size: 22

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, room temp
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
3/4 cup toasted almonds, finely chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Using electric mixer, beat butter, 1/3 cup sugar, both extracts, spices and salt in medium bowl. Beat in flour. Then stir in almonds.

Using hands, roll dough into tablespoon-size balls. Place on large baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake until pale golden, about 25 minutes.

Cool on sheet 5 minutes. Place remaining sugar in a large bowl. Working in batches, gently coat hot cookies in sugar. Cool cookies on rack. Roll again in sugar and serve.

Notes:

These cookies, a twist on traditional snowballs, are just the thing to enjoy with a spot of tea

Yes, this is it. I didn't have the name quite right. Thank you! If I get a chance I'll make them this week.

I made them a few weeks ago and they were incredible!

I finally made these cookies yesterday and we really liked them. DH, a professed almond hater, actually LOVED them! They are indeed similar to the Mexican Wedding Cookies (or whatever name you call the little powdered sugar balls), but different because of the addition of spices and ground almonds. Thanks for sharing the recipe (which immediately went into my permanent file)! :)
