Orange Cardamom Cookies
For this recipe I searched online and found a similar one but added my own touches to make them individual. These were packed full of citrus flavor with just enough of that herbal, spicy, warmth kick from the fresh cardamom and ginger. Give them a try, it was pretty simple and delicious. Orange Cardamom Cookies.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup soft butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp fresh cardamom
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 squeezed orange juice
- 2 tbs orange zest
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup milk
Icing:
- 1/2 squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 tsp fresh cardamom
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- Powdered sugar
1. In a stand mixer combine butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Mix in egg, orange juice, zest, cardamom, and ginger.
3. In a sperate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in gradually to the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
4. Mix in the milk. Turn out onto the table top and wrap into plastic wrap and put into the fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Take dough out of the fridge and lightly spray hands with cooking spray. Roll into balls and place onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes until they start to brown on bottom.
6. Meanwhile make the icing by combining some powdered sugar, the other orange juice, cardamom and ginger until a creamy, yet an easy drizzle mixture occurs.
7. Cool the cookies and ice as you please.
These little soft cookies were perfect. Great flavor combination of the orange, cardamom and ginger. Definitely will make these again.
