Notes
Here are a few tips and tricks for the best cookies:
Chill time is essential. It helps the cookies hold their shape.
I can adjust the amount of cardamom if I prefer a milder or stronger spice flavor.
Double the batch if I'm planning for a party or gifting!
They stay fresh for up to a week in an airtight container, but I bet they'll be gone sooner!
I love making these for holidays or just when I want a sweet treat. Enjoy baking! 🍪
