Yield: 4 dozen
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1½ cups cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 2¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F; line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add cardamom, eggs and vanilla; mix until combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients on low speed until a dough is formed.
  4. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls, and place 2-3 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake 10-13 minutes or until golden.
  5. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in airtight container for up to a week.
Notes / Variations
I like to use vanilla bean paste in this recipe, because the little flecks of vanilla really stand out once the cookies are baked. Vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste can be used 1:1.

Once baked, cookies can be stored in the freezer for up to two months.
