Author Notes
I fell in love with cardamom a few years ago when I started drinking chai and have found it’s also lovely in baked goods. This recipe came about while I perusing the fridge one weekend for something to satisfy my sweet tooth. I noticed some orange marmalade my hubby enjoys and was inspired to make cookies flavored with orange and cardamom!
