Rich Cardamom Cookies Notes

I recently baked these for a potluck and the guests raved about them because they are unusual and delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cake flour
• 4 teaspoons ground cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup ground almonds
• For Decoration:
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
• sliced almonds

Serves / Yields

makes 2 dozen

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 375. Grease 2 baking sheets.

Combine flour, cardamom and salt. In a seperate bowl, beat butter until creamy, and add sugar. Continue to beat until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flower mixture until well-blended, stir in ground almonds.

In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar and cardamom. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, coat in sugar-spice mixture. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets. Dip the bottom of a glass into sugar mixture and flatten cookies to 1/2 inch thick rounds. Decorate with sliced almonds.

Bake cookies until golden brown, about 12-14 minutes. Remove sheets to wire racks to cool 2-3 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
