Cardamom Sugar Cookies
Delicate cookie with mild cardamom taste
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 Cup Sugar (you can also use confectioner's sugar which will give you a fluffier texture to your cookie.)
- 1 ½ Teaspoon Ground cardamom (if you do not like, or do not have cardamom, you can use cinnamon or another spice you like.)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Cups Flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Cream the butter, sugar, cardamom, vanilla, and salt in a stand mixer or with electric beaters. You can also do this by hand.
- Gradually add in the flour, with the mixer on low, until all the flour is incorporated and the dough comes together.
- Use a medium (2 tablespoon) cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll the dough into balls and coat in granulated sugar.
- Stamp the balls of dough with your cookie stamp, or dip bottom of glass in sugar and press cookie to flatten to about 1/2 inch. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle your stamped cookies with a little more granulated sugar.
- Place the tray of cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Bake 14-16 minutes until just starting to turn faintly golden around the very edges. The cookies will still be quite pale.
Notes
Note: cold cookies will take slightly longer than room temp cookie dough, and ovens and pans vary greatly. Bake less for softer cookies and longer for crunchier cookies.
