Cardamom Butter Cookies
Serves
Makes 18 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup melted chocolate, for drizzling
  • Dried rose petals, for garnish


Procedure
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Add flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom to a medium bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Cream together the butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer or with an electric beater until smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating on low speed, just until the dough comes together.

Use a 1.5" scoop to scoop out about 18 balls of dough, rolling each between your hands to form into a smooth ball.

Place dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, at least 1-inch apart, and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, drizzle each cookie with melted chocolate and rose petals.
