Description
Delicious buttery cookies infused with cardamom flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cardamom powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Whisk together all purpose flour, cardamom powder and salt in a small bowl.
- Add the butter and powdered sugar to a medium bowl and beat with a handheld electric mixer on high speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined.
- Shape the dough into a 7 to 8-inch log, wrap it in parchment paper, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days, until firm. If you’re making the cookies in warm weather or your kitchen is particularly hot, the dough may be too soft to shape right away. In that case, chill the bowl of dough in the refrigerator for 20 to 40 minutes to firm it up slightly before rolling it into a log.
- Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough log from the refrigerator and slice it into ¼-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 18–24 minutes, or until the edges are a deep golden brown, turning the pan halfway through for even baking. For the best crisp texture, wait until the edges are nicely golden—removing them too early will give you a softer, more delicate bite.
- Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For warm weather, chill the dough to firm it up.
- Ensure cookies are golden for the best texture.
