North Africian Cardamom Cookies

Annacia's Note:

Easy! (and I love the way the directions are written). Found in another trip through one of my boxes of old recipes cut from newspapers and magazines. I'm guessing at the yield.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 4 dozen

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons cardamom powder
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups fine whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar and cardomom powder for 3 minutes.
2. Then with the beater going add the eggs one at a time.
3. When the mixture gets light take it out in a bowl and add the flour and salt with a light hand.
4. When a soft dough gets prepared with the help of a spoon drop them on a nonstick cookie sheet.
5. Place them 1/2" apart.
6. Bake these cookies in a preheated oven at 325 F for 10 - 11 minutes or till the cookies have a golden color.
7. Repeat the baking procedure for the remaining dough.

Another winner from Anna. My mom & I enjoyed these cookies very much. They were crisp and tender out of the oven, with the most amazing cardamom flavor. We enjoyed them so much, that I made some to take to my sister the following week. She enjoyed them as much as mom & I. Her's were soft and tender, slightly chewy. They were perfect both ways. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely treat, which I will be making again.
