Chai Tea Cookies

Is this a shot for a scrapbook page or what? And that's just where it will end up after the holidays, turned into a scrapbook page, to preserve for years to come! Dominik had more fun eating the cookies, all boy he is! Speaking of cookies, I found a yummy recipe for Christmas cookies using Chai Tea, so since it's a favorite of mine and many of you, thought I'd share it with you today. It came from a magazine, a page I had torn out before giving the magazine away so I can't give credit where credit is due but they sure do look good!
