Chai-Spiced Shortbread Cookies



We went to our cabin for Thanksgiving.  It was so great. Woke up one morning and This was the sunrise that we got to see.  





The river was full of water with all the rain that we received.   



Sausage making 

              

        I made these cookies tonight.  They are awesome.  Everyone that ate them loved them.  They are all gone.  Yum!!!  They were really good broken up on ice cream. 

 

 There  a  change that I made to the recipe.  I added 1/4 c. more sugar.  The critics said that I should put less White chocolate chips, the cookie is so good on its own.  We will see, I liked the chips!!!!
