Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cardamom, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly press down each dough ball using the bottom of a glass or your palm to flatten them slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain pale and soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, sift powdered sugar over the tops to finish. Serve and enjoy!
