These biscuits are really easy to make and have a lovely subtle cardamom spice flavour. You can top them with a thin layer of icing or leave them plain and enjoy them warm out of the oven. (They make a really pretty present too!)

Steps:
- Rub the butter and flour together until it forms small breadcrumbs. Then add the caster sugar and ground cardamom. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add 2 tablespoons of it to the dry ingredients (you can keep the rest of the egg for another recipe)
- Mix the ingredients together until they form a soft dough. Then wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for around 30 mins.
- Once the dough has chilled roll out on a floured surface so that it is around half a cm thick and cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on to a greased baking sheet (it should make around 12 biscuits) and bake at 180c for 10-15mins.
- Allow the biscuits to cool. I decided to ice mine using golden icing sugar and a little water. I waited until the biscuits were cold and then spread the icing on to them using a pastry brush to get a thin layer of glazed icing.
CARDAMOM COOKIES
We love the smell and taste of cardamom around the holidays and found this recipe in our local paper. Cardamom tastes like a mixture of ginger and maybe cinnamon and can be very strong. If you're adding more, go with a light hand.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together baking soda, cardamom, cinnamon and flour and reserve.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-hgih speed, beat sugar and butter together until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until thouroughly combined. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Roll dough into balls and transfer to baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Carefully press dough with flat bottom of drinking glass and bake until llightly browned, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add milk, cardamom and cinnamon and beat well. Reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar to reach desired consistency. Spread icing on cooled cookies.
- Note: This icing is fairly soft, and does not harden. If you like your icing to be a bit stiffer, try adding slightly less milk and more confectioners sugar.
Tips:
- Always use room temperature butter for the best texture and flavor.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies spread evenly in the oven.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them set and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
