LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. On low speed, beat in flour, salt, cardamom and cinnamon. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour or until firm.
  • 2 Shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Gently press bottom of drinking glass onto dough to grease, then press into granulated sugar and onto dough balls to flatten to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • 3 Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are just beginning to brown and centers of cookies are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool 10 minutes.
  • 4 In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and enough of the milk until glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over cookies; sprinkle with sugar crystals.

I followed this recipe to a T and the dough did not get firm enough to roll into balls so I baked it in a square cake pan to cut into bars. Also the amount of icing made is extreme. All in all I thought them to be bland, which surprised me.

These were delish....I rolled the dough in sugar and did not frost them. Wonderful cardamom flavor. I did increase the baking time to 12 minutes. I will definitely be making these again!

Followed recipe exactly. Cookies did not set up well and were not crisp at all. Decent flavor and nice appearance but subpar texture.
