Classic chai spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and black pepper flavor these rich, tender scones. A coffee glaze is spooned over the golden tops, making all of the flavors bold and bright.

Y'all. These are outrageously good. These are better than any pecan pie I've ever made or tasted. They have all the components that make you want just a bit more--sweetness, saltiness, acid from the orange, and a touch of bourbon.
These ginger lemon bars are perfectly simple to make. The sweetness of the brown sugar is balanced by two forms of ginger (dried and crystallized) and lemon (both the zest and juice). As the days are getting shorter and the darkness is coming earlier, these are a cold weather comfort, but they're also light enough to enjoy year round.
