Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion out even balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each ball of dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cardamom snaps on their own or with a warm beverage of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
