Ingredients
Orange Cardamom Cookies:
- 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons, 170 grams) unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- Zest from 1 orange
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon rose water
- 1/3 cup (45 grams) shelled unsalted pistachios finely chopped
Topping:
- 1 cup (125 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) freshly squeezed orange juice
- Finely chopped unsalted pistachios for garnish
- Crumbled dried rose petals for garnish
Instructions
To make the cookies:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cardamom, and salt. Set aside.
- In the stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and orange zest until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract and rose water.
- Mix in the flour mixture just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dough to a large sheet of plastic wrap and form into a log about 11 inches (28 centimeters) long and 2 inches (5 centimeters) wide.
- Wrap tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C) and line two baking sheets with parchment.
- Remove the chilled dough from the plastic wrap and cut into 1/3 inch (8 millimeter) thick slices.
- Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly golden around the edges, about 12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.
- Allow to cool slightly before transferring to wire racks and cooling to room temperature.
To decorate the cookies:
- Place the powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
- Slowly whisk in the orange juice to create a glaze thick enough to cover or drizzle over the cookies.
- If too thin, whisk in a little more powdered sugar. If too thick, whisk in a little more orange juice.
- Use a small spoon to spread the glaze over the top of each cookie or drizzle across the tops.
- Immediately top with a sprinkling of chopped pistachios and rose petals.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving or storing in an airtight container between sheets of wax paper in the refrigerator.
