These are fantastic. I’ve made them multiple times as listed and they’ve come out wonderful each time.

I made these to take to an outdoor church potluck and everyone loved them, even my husband, who usually refers to gingerbread-type desserts as “old people food” (whatever that means). I think that the brand and flavor of chai tea that you use could make a bit of difference in the flavor – I used a scant 2 teaspoons of supermarket brand spiced chai and I would have been ok with a bit more chai flavor. I was also a teensy bit worried that the tea leaves would result in a “crunchy” texture but this was not the case at all. These were really delicious and I love having good bar recipes for when I don’t have time for individual cookies!

I’ve made these several times now with rave reviews each time.
Only advice, don’t try to substitute oil of any kind for the butter…completely changes the consistency (only made that mistake once).

The flavor of these bars was great! Only problem I had was I don’t think I mixed them long enough after adding the flour as they were a little grainy but overall would make them again!

Being Swedish these bars really taste of Christmas with all that ginger. Very nice!

These are delicious. I loved them, and so did hubby and both kids. They are definitely going into the rotation.
Note: I did only use 1 stick of butter as a previous poster did, they turned out beautifully and tasted great. Oh, and I used 2 tsp of Chai to make them a bit spicier.
They’re a hit!

I made these with a half a cup with shortening instead of the full cup of butter, and they came out soooooo well! I made them dairy-free for my uncle (who loved them, by the way), but definitely plan to try them with the butter next time I make them (…in three days).
I didn’t have allspice on hand, either, so I used 1/4 teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to substitute for it. I also used two tea bags of Chai.
Absolutely delicious! Wonderful job!

When you say “Chai Tea Leaves” what does that mean? Can I just cut open a little chai tea bag and use that or is it something completely different? Thanks! I love chai tea and gingerbread, so I can’t wait to try these!

hi!! yep… just cut open a bag of tea. if you really like the flavour of chai tea… you could bump it up to 2 teaspoons! enjoy!!

Made these for treat day at my husband’s office and got MANY requests for the recipe (that’s a first). I did almost halve the amount of butter that went in and they were still super moist.

I made these for a get-together with my girlfriends. I added some chopped candied ginger for added zest. They were very good!!!
