Cardamom is one of those spices that was kind of a mystery to me for many years.....until I had Cardamom Cookies. Oh my! Now I find myself trying to sneak a little cardamom into more of my baking. I'm Danish, and we do love our baking, so today, I'm sharing my Cardamom Cookie recipe with you. (In Danish it's Kardemommekager....just so ya know!)
They're kind of pretty with their crinkly sugared tops!
This is one of those easy recipes where you mix it all in one bowl...sweet! Here's what you need....
I should make a quick note here...this recipe does not use whole wheat flour. Wheat Montana is my favorite flour in the world and I loved it so much, I bought a flour jar from their store!
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 Cup sugar
- 1/2 Cup melted butter
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cardamom
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Roll into 1" balls. (I just use a 1" cookie scoop.) Place 1 inch apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Dip a small glass or jar sugar and flatten cookie. Bake at 350 for 10-12 min.
Really, they are that easy to make. Here is a quick tip...to get the sugar to stick to the bottom of the jar/glass you are using to flatten the cookies with, just flatten the first cookie and then dip the jar in the sugar. (It will pick up enough moisture from the cookie to get you started.)
I flattened these to just about the diameter of a 50 cent piece.
If you want a crisper cookie bake them a little longer. I baked mine about 10 minutes, until they were just lightly brown on top.
I love these cookies! Cardemom is wonderful spice and will fill your house with a lovely aroma when you bake these.
I'm linking this recipe to this fun party today.....
(Stop by and show Marilyn some love!)
And this great party which begins on Monday.....
The Inspiration Cafe Girls are having their first link party and we'd love it if you'd come link up a recipe that has special meaning to you on Monday April 29th. We'd love it if you would!
