These cardamom cookies are incredibly flavorful. We will are going to make them with cinnamon and ginger. I am using whole wheat flour and coconut sugar to make these but you use what ever you prefer. The recipe is below 👇
How to Make Cardamom Cookies Makes about 36 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter - softened 1 cup (200 grams) coconut sugar (you can use white if you prefer) 2 large eggs -- room temperature 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract 2 cups (240 grams) whole wheat flour (you can use white if you prefer) 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking soda 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground cardamom 1/8 teaspoon (.62 ml) black pepper 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
FOR ROLLING - 2 tablespoons (24 grams) coconut sugar 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cardamom
Cream the softened butter with the sugar. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix in well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Add them to the creamed butter mixture and mix until all is incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour. You can make this dough in advance and leave it in the fridge for a couple of days or freeze it.
Heat your oven to 350F (176 C).
Spoon some dough into your clean hands and roll it into a ball. Cover it with the cardamom sugar and place it on a lined baking sheet. Leave some space between each one as they might spread some. Bake them for about 12 minutes, or until they are lightly browned at the bottom.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool down completely. Keep them in an air tight container for up to one week.

This recipe is going to be in the description box underneath the video, in grams and in
cups, okay?
But I'm mixing very soft butter with sugar here, and I'm using organic coconut sugar,
guys.
Only because I want them to be a little healthier.
Cookies are cookies, don't stress.
You can use white sugar if you want, okay?
Or even brown sugar for that matter, make it nice and chewy.
This is healthier than refined white sugar, so.
So I have a cup of each, and I'm just going to mix it all in, until it's nice and creamed.
I'm going to add a teaspoon of vanilla.
Vanilla grows on this island, and one of these days I'm going to take you to the farm.
You gotta do that.
Two eggs at room temperature.
And mix that in really well, guys.
You want it to be nicely creamed.
I'm going to be using whole wheat flour for these cookies.
Again, if you want to use white flour, go ahead.
But I have whole wheat flour in here, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper,
that brings out the spices beautifully, salt, and baking soda.
I'm just going to add it to my wet ingredients.
Alright.
This dough needs to be refrigerated for at least an hour, guys.
Cover your bowl so that you don't have refrigerator flavors in your cookies, okay?
This ended up staying in the fridge overnight, I had to leave the house, so now let's bake
these cookies, okay?
I'm going to put two tablespoons of coconut sugar in this bowl.
Again, if you're using another sugar, that's fine.
And I'm going to add a teaspoon of cardamom to it.
And I'm going to mix it.
We're going to wash our hands.
We're going to spoon dough out, and we're going to make a ball.
You can make these as big as you want.
And then I want you to roll them in the sugar and put them on your baking sheet.
I have one with parchment paper.
So now I'm going to bake these at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 176 centigrade, for about 12 minutes.
Alright, these were in the oven for 12 minutes.
They are still a little soft, it's okay.
They are going to harden as they cool down.
These are very spongy cookies, guys.
They're very, very nice.
Try and not get them too close so this doesn't happen to you.
That's no harm done.
We're going to let them cool down completely, and then we'll taste them, okay?
But see, they're lightly browned.
I really wish you guys could smell these cookies.
They are amazing.
So as I told you, they're spongy.
Look at that, super moist.
Mmm.
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.
Guys, they are loaded in flavor.
You should get about 36 of these cookies, okay, depending on the size.
Keep them in an airtight container up to a week, and enjoy.
And thanks for watching.
I'm going to see you soon.
