Ingredients
-
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (I omit the salt and use salted butter)
1/2 cup sugar
5 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 cup almonds, sliced
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
sliced almonds (to garnish, about 48 pieces)
Preparation
-
Heat oven to 375\u00b0F, oven rack in center of oven.
Grease a heavy cookie sheet (use a veggie oil).
Combine salt (if using) and flour in a bowl.
Cream Butter sugar and 2 tsp of cardamom until fluffy.
Add flour and beat at low speed.
Stir in 1/2 cup almonds.
Combine powdered sugar and remaining cardamom.
Roll dough into 1 Tbsp balls one at a time.
Roll each in the powdered sugar mixture, coat well.
Place on cookie sheet and with the bottom of a small glass, dipped in the sugar, press the cookie to 1/2\" thickness. Press a couple of almond slices into each cookie (use more if you like).
Have cookies at least a 1/2\" apart.
Bake about 14 minutes or until they are light brown.
Cool on a rack.
Put in airtight container.
You can freeze and they will keep at least a couple of months.
