I used this for an 8th grade school project on The Boston Tea Party, and everyone loved them! This is a must for a Colonial project at school!
Something went terribly wrong with this recipe; my first AllRecipes flop. They came out like pancakes. The flavor was all right, but the cookies were pancake like and fell apart. Will not make again.

A delicious spicy cookie! I didn't have semi-sweet chips on hand; I substituted white chocolate chips instead. My husband loves these cookies warm with a cold glass of milk.
This cookie got mixed ratings. My husband and I enjoyed it, but the younger kids didn't. It tasted like a soft gingerbread cookie, with the coffee as an undertone. Thank you for the recipe.
This recipe is uniquely good and is best with light flavored tea!
These cookies are absolutely delicious! My whole family loves them.
I made this recipe along time ago and it came out great and it was delicous.
These cookies are always a hit. Great with coffee or even red wine! They also keep well.
