easy to work with, dough is a little soft, but still rolls out nicely. watch baking time, can over brown quickly. like the spice combination, nice and crisp. browner than pictured.

A good recipe BUT add a teaspoon of baking powder or you will have flat discs and definitely chill the dough for about an hour. It makes is much easier to roll out. Other than those two changes, this is a good recipe.
