Original Recipe Yield 100 cookies
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, stirring until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cardamom and cinnamon; stir into the sugar mixture just until blended.
  3. Separate the dough into 6 balls, and roll each ball into a rope about as big around as your finger on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
