Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
For rolling the cookies
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 3 Tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until combined. Then add the eggs in one at a time and mix.
  2. Slowly pour in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom in the mixing bowl. Mix until the dry ingredients are just combined.
  3. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Don't skip this step!
  4. When you are ready to bake the cookies preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  5. Combine the remaining 1 tsp ground cardamom with the 3 Tbs of white sugar on a plate.
  6. Shape dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the dough balls in the cardamom/sugar mixture. Space the balls about 2 inches apart because they will spread.
  7. Place on baking sheets with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • These cookies spread a lot. Don't skip the chilling time.
  • Don't put the cookie balls on warm baking sheets. If you are making multiple batches and don't have enough cookie sheets let them cool off in between use. Otherwise you end up with a large mass of smushed together cookies
