These were really good! I had to make a few adjustments though; it seemed like the recipe might have been written incorrectly. The 1/3 cup of cream in the ganache was not nearly enough to melt the chocolate; I had to add a bit more (the total including the first amount was probably 1/2-2/3 cup total) and whisk until it was smooth. Make sure you have more than just the amount the recipe says, so you can add more until the texture is what you want. Also, the dough with just butter in it was way too crumbly and wouldn't hold together. I added some more of my leftover cream there too, maybe 1/8-1/4 cup, until I could get the dough to hold together. So overall, I'd make sure you have around 3/4-1 cup of cream on hand for this recipe, though you might not need it all.
The filling and dough both tasted delicious, but the dough didn't hold together at all. I tried it twice and had to throw away both batches. I may try using these spice combinations in other recipes.
