Chai Spiced Cookies

My digital camera is having trouble working (apparently it needs BATTERIES... who knew?) so I can't show a photo. But these are yummers. I modified this recipe from the Pillsbury Holiday booklet in the checkout lane of my grocery store.

Chai Spiced Cookies

COOKIES
1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups flour
1.5 tsp. caramom
1.5 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1.5 tsp. ginger
1.5 tsp. ground cloves
1.5 tsp. salt
4 tsp. vanilla
2 egg yolks
Mini chips- To your liking (1/2 or 1 cup)

COATING
1.5 cups powdered sugar
1.5 tsp. cardomom
1.5 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350.
2. Beat butter and sugar until blended. Then add dry ingredients, vanilla, yolks and mini chips. (I add mini chips to taste... 1.5- 1 cup or so.)
3. Shape dough by tablespoons into balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 1.5 inches apart.
4. Bake 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes.
5. Mix the coating. Gently roll warm cookies in coating.

And as always, cry for your momma. Yummers.
