Swedish Cardamom Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 50 blanched whole almonds, toasted
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, melt butter in a substantial skillet over a moderate heat level that is neither too hot nor too cold. Allow the butter to transform into a light tan color without stirring it for approximately 15 minutes. Then, transfer the butter to a separate container and refrigerate until it solidifies.
3
In a new bowl, combine sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Gradually add flour to the mixture and blend until a smooth dough forms.
4
Shape the dough into small, rounded balls that are each about 1 inch in diameter. Place these balls on a flat surface, leaving enough space between them to accommodate their growth during baking. Top each ball with an almond and gently press it into the dough.
5
Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake until the cookies are golden brown, taking between 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack for cooling.
