Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful cookie! Especially if you like Cardamom! However.. this is my first time baking with it and it was a V-E-R-Y prominent flavor in this cookie. Just a tad bit overpowering for me. I will use half a tsp next time I make these!

Very good. Very spice heavy. Take a while to cut into tiny little pieces. This year, I just cut them into 2-3 inch sticks... just as good. Great for Christmas when you role them in red sugar!

These were excellent!! So simple, yet decadent. Very good. Loved the fact that they are so good & easy, plus made so many. They really help to fill out my Christmas cookie trays that I give each year. I'll absolutely be hanging on to this one.

They were okay, I don't think that kind of cookie is really my favorite, I like them more sweet and these are a little spicy.

These are lovely. I may suggest to put more cardemomma though. I added an extra 1/4 cup flour to the original recipe, because the dough was too sticky to handle. Also I used 3/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar. I also rolled the dough in 1 inch diameter balls instead of cutting them and baked for 13 min. After cooling I sifted alittle powdered sugar on top. The result was great. Everybody loved it.

I loved the fact that these weren't too sweet and are perfect with a cup of tea, but my husband and daughter both didn't care for them, therefore the 4 star rating. I'd still suggest it, however, for a nice change from the sugar-overload we all experience at the holidays.

I followed a previous reviewer's suggestion and doubled the cinnamon and cardamom as well as added a dash of both white pepper and mace. While by no means a "pretty" cookie - my, did they taste heavenly. I think the looks turned off a lot of people, because I found myself prodding people to try them. Once they did, they didn't stop at one. Going to need to find a way to make them a little more attractive for next year!

These were suprisingly delicious. We made for some family friends who are from Finland and they said flavor reminded them of home. Thank you so much for the recipe. I can see us making these for ourselves next time.

Really really easy, and great for the non-chocolate & non-nuts crowd...yet even I as a chocaholic still loved these. The only thing was I quadrupled the spices and even added a bit of ginger to the dough. They still turned out very lightly scented & lightly flavoured.

These were great, but my mom and dad both hinted that they were slightly bland. I rolled them into 1/2 inch balls and rolled them in sugar before baking them. After realizing that they weren't so sweet, I made a cinnamon glaze to spread on top of them, and both my parents agreed that it made all the difference. The glaze was made with 3 TBSP melted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 TSP cinnamon, 1/4 TSP vanilla, and 1 TBSP milk.

Clearly a 'keeper'! This is a wonderful recipe of the traditional Danish cookie. It's not as sweet as the typical American cookie, where I normally have to reduce some of the sugar called for. Be warned: ground cardamon is expensive (about $10 for a regular size bottle). But its flavour is subtle and balances well with the cinnamon.

I halved the recipe. It was too sticky to ball or roll into a rope so I made drop cookies. The cookie was kind of bland. If I were to make it again, I would up the spices 1/4 tsp each. My hubby went out into the rain to get me the cardamom from the store. He too was disappointed.

I made these cute little cookies this morning and I had 255 cookies! I made them as directed but made the rope smaller as I liked the crispy texture of the small little bundles. The dough was sticky and rather than adding more flour, I chilled them over night. I liked them just as they were but my husband likes sweeter cookies so I rolled them in sugar and some in cinnamon sugar instead--perfect ! Next time I will double the spices. My grand daughters will love these because they just look like a tea party ready to happen!

Perfect for the office Christmas party. Everybody loved the bite sized nibbles. Many had never tasted cardamom and are now hooked (I add more than called for as it is probably my favourite baking spice.

I made these cookies for the first time and they were a hit! My Mom wanted me to bake some more for the church christmas concert. First I followed the one review that said to double the spices in the recipe and then add mace, cloves, ginger, and pepper. Also rather than cut out nugget pieces I used a cookie press since the dough was the perfect soft, slightly sticky consistancy. Beautiful and delicious - this is a KEEPER recipe.

Wow. These. Cookies. Were. Amazing! The best part was that the ingredients were so easy to find! I'm living in India so am always pleased to find recipes like this, as some western ingredients aren't available here. I even used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose, and whole cardomoms instead of the powder. Absolutely amazing!

I loved these cookies! I made some in ball shape and some as the recipe specifies. The ones rolled out and cut like the recipe directs were better. The cardamom in these is so unexpected - they're really delicious!
