Yield Makes about 12 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 sticks salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar cubes, coarsely crushed, or pearl sugar

Steps:

  • Beat together 1 egg and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Sift in flour and baking powder and add butter. Beat on low speed until mixture forms a dough. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly beat remaining egg. Roll level teaspoons of dough into balls and arrange 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press thumb into center of each ball to flatten, leaving a depression, and brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle crushed sugar in centers and bake in batches in middle of oven until golden, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool completely.

I'm not a fan of cardamom, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

I think these cookies would be even better if they were dipped in chocolate.

The cookies spread a bit in the oven, so be sure to give them enough space on the baking sheet.
