Author Notes
These are wonderful, light, little cardamom butter cookies. They are easy to make, very unique and always a crowd pleaser! This recipe comes from the cookbook I am working on with my Indian mother-in-law. Although this recipe makes a lot, it is easily halved and they also make perfect hostess gifts! - elizabeth c —elizabeth c
Test Kitchen Notes
With so few ingredients, these simple, delicious cookies come together quickly and really allow the flavor of cardamom to shine. In my salt-loving opinion, the addition of a pinch of salt wouldn’t hurt but they are very good, and very sweet, as written. I thought rolling out 100 little balls would be tiresome, but it wasn't so bad (I scooped out heaping half-teaspoons to work with). The resulting cookies are such a dear little size, perfect with tea. They baked up with no problem on both lightly greased and ungreased cookie sheets. —Robin.Bellinger
