Growing up, my favorite holiday cookies were either coconut- or chocolate-covered: snowballs and bon-bons. Cardamom cookies were among the many cookies I wouldn’t touch. They were one of my Grandma’s favorites, but I couldn’t appreciate the sweet spice blend for which they are named. Sometimes Grandma would ice them, but even with that extra coat of sugar, I wasn’t keen.
As an adult, my palate has expanded and so has my sweet tooth (although I try not to indulge too often). I still love chocolate- and/or coconut-covered everything. But I’ve also come to love a good chia spice tea and cardamom-spiced treat.
These cookies are simple to make, light and fluffy in texture, and not too sweet. Brent, who isn’t a sweets guy, thought they were great. I hope you will, too!
