Cardamom Cookies image

This is an easy cookie recipe from Deborah Madison's, "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone". The cookies are lovely on their own with that wonderful cardamom bite. I also used this recipe as a pie crust and filled it with homemade pear ice cream. The combination of cardamom and pear was spectacular. To use as a "pie crust", I just pressed chilled dough on the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate and then baked in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes. I let the crust cool completely before filling with the ice cream. Put the entire pie back in the freezer for a couple of hours to make sure ice cream hardened up again and then took out 20 minutes before slicing and serving. I then took the pie to an friend's for an India inspired pot luck.

Time 28m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 lb unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for tops
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg yolk.
  • Stir in the cardamom, salt, and flour.
  • Divide the dough in two, roughly shape each piece into a log about 1 inch thick, then roll in plastic wrap or wax paper. Pull each log through you thumb and first finger to make it even and, if you prefer, longer and narrower.
  • Refrigerate until firm or freeze until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Cut the dough into 1/4-inch rounds or diagonals and set themon cookie sheets at least 1 inch apart.
  • Bake until pale golden on top and lightly browned around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cool. Serve plain or dusted with confectioner's sugar.
  • Note: Time to Make does not include the time to chill the dough.

These cookies were a bit too spicy for me. I think I would use less cardamom next time.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add an extra egg yolk or some butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
