Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cardamom, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the bottom of a glass or your palm to gently flatten each ball of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
