Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for optional dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cardamom, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and continue to beat until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once the cookies have cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
Serve these fragrant and buttery cardamom cookies with tea or coffee, and enjoy!
