Cardamom Cinnamon Cookies


Cinnamon is a staple in every kitchen because it is delicious and just adds that special umph to so many baked goods. Cardamom on the other hand, may not be a spice you keep in your pantry, but you know what... you should! It is amazing, and these cookies will knock your socks off. I've gotten so many compliments on these Cardamom Cinnamon Cookies. I found the recipe on Pinterest as Cardamom Cookies, but as will most recipes I find, I fiddled with it. And it is good. But more than being good, they are also really easy to make.

1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp cardamom
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
Morena sugar or regular sugar for rolling cookies


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter for 25-30 seconds.


Add the remaining ingredients (I add the egg last since the butter is usually still a little warm).


Mix everything until combined.


Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to portion cookies. Roll in sugar.


Then place cookies onto a piece of parchment paper on your cookie tray. Use a glass to flatten cookies. After pressing the first cookie, dip the glass in your rolling sugar. This will keep the glass from sticking to subsequent cookies. The thinner they are flattened, the crispier the cookie will be.


Bake cookies 10-12 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn golden. This is the perfect spot to pull them. This is a crispy cookie, but if you cook them toward the high end of the range, the cookies will be crispier. Let them rest for 5 minutes or so. This will let the cookies finish setting and firm up.
