Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl (use the paddle attachment on a stand mixer), beat butter with sugars for 2-3 minutes. Add in egg yolks, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom to the wet ingredients. Beat until the crumbly mixture comes together into a cookie dough ball.
- Using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop cookie dough into a bowl of the reserved 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Roll cookie dough in sugar then place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place cookie dough 2-inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and lightly tap the tops with a spatula. Cool on pans for several minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
