Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • Ground cardamom

Instructions

  • Get all your ingredients together and double check you have it all.
  • In a clean mixing bowl add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cardamom. Whisk together until combined.
  • In another bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add both sugars, butter, egg, and vanilla. Whisk or beat until incorporated and slightly fluffy.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and continue whisking or beating until incorporated.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least an hour.
  • When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F. Prep a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Use a small bowl to mix together the topping ingredients: ¼ cup of sugar and a generous pinch of cardamom.
  • Use a cookie scooper or large spoon to scoop the dough into balls (you can also use your hands if you don’t have a cookie scooper). Dunk the dough balls in the topping mix, coating the surface, then place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they only slightly darken in color. Try not to overbake these, as they are best soft.
  • When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before storing or enjoy warm with a glass of milk.
