I wasn’t sure how it would all work, but I was very happily surprised – now that I have some in my cupboard I think I’ll try other desserts with it!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 2 ½ t cardamom
- 1 ½ t baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup butter, brought to room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg, brought to room temperature
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 ½ t lemon juice
- 2 ½ t vanilla
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together your first four dry ingredients – flour, cardamom, baking soda and salt and set that aside.
Put your butter in a large bowl and beat until nice and fluffy. Add in both the sugar and brown sugar and beat again until smooth.
Next, add in the egg, molasses, lemon juice and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Finally, grab your small bowl and slowly add the dry ingredients until everything is smooth.
Put the dough in the fridge for about a half hour to let it firm up a bit.
Once you’re ready to bake, line your baking sheets with parchment paper and place ping pong ball-sized balls of dough onto the sheets, 6 to a sheet.
Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, or until the edges start to get a bit golden brown.
Remove the sheets from the oven and let the cookies set on the sheets for a couple minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 3 ½ dozen cardamom cookies!
