Cardamom Cookies Recipe

	Krumkake / All my dishes 5 months, 2 weeks ago If you're a fan of cardamom, like I am, you will enjoy these crunchy, buttery, sweet little cookies. I make them for the holidays, but they are good any time of the year - with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa in the winter, or a tall glass of lemonade in the summer....

Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

2 cups white flour

½ cup finely chopped cashews (the original recipe calls for unsalted, but I’ve always used salted)

1½ teaspoons ground cardamom

¾ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Cream together the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl.

Add the egg, vanilla and lemon juice, and beat until light and fluffy.

Combine the flour, cashews, cardamom, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.

Add the flour mixture to the brown sugar-butter mixture, mixing ingredients together thoroughly.

Using about a teaspoon of dough, roll into little balls and place on ungreased baking sheets about 1½ inches apart.

Bake at 350 degrees for 11 to 14 minutes, until cookies are just beginning to brown very slightly – do not overbake.

Cool cookies on waxed paper or wire rack before storing them in a tightly covered container.

NOTE: You can grind the nuts in a food processor, if you prefer, but add ½ cup of the flour (from the 2 cups used in the recipe) to the nuts before processing – this keeps the nuts from getting too oily when ground. I’ve always just used my nut grinder, and that works fine, too.

Love cardamom - I'll try these with almonds (cashew allergy - but this recipe sounds too good to let that get in my way)
