These are probably the world's simplest cookies, great when you have kids that need a quick snack. The recipe comes from Parhaat Leivonnaiset. If you don't care for cardamom, vanilla could very easily be substituted.
The ingredients are:
175 g softened butter (12 Tablespoons)
2 1/2 dl sugar (1 cup)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons cardamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 dl all-purpose flour (2 1/2 cups)
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Beat the butter, sugar and 1 1/2 of the eggs (save a little beaten egg to brush on the top before baking). Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Then add the dry ingredients and mix well. The dough was rather dry when I made it.
Make the dough into 6 finger-width ropes. Place these on a greased cookie sheet, or use parchment like I did instead of greasing. Flatten the ropes with your fingers.
Brush with the reserved egg, and sprinkle pearl sugar on top. These are also fun if you use sprinkles or colored sugar for holidays. Before Christmas, I made them with chocolate dough and sprinkled with broken peppermint candies, you can find that post here.
Bake for about 10 minutes, mine would have been better if I hadn't let them bake quite so long! As soon as you take them out, cut them at an angle to separate the cookies.
I absolutely love your recipes, and these cardamom cookies look so delicious. I have always enjoyed baking, and your creations give me so much inspiration to try new things in my own kitchen. I actually have a cooking channel as well, but lately, it has been a bit neglected because I have been so focused on my dissertation. I have been working on it for quite a long time, and it became really difficult to manage both my studies and my passion for cooking. That is why I decided to take help from an Economics Dissertation Writing Service to make sure I complete my dissertation on time and can finally get back to sharing more recipes on my channel.
