Time 1h40m

Yield about 8 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup semolina flour
2 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom
4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon orange-flower water, available at gourmet markets, or substitute orange extract or liqueur

Steps:

  • Sift together both flours and 2 teaspoons cardamom in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Using a mixer, beat the butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar and the salt in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg yolks; mix well. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Mix in the orange-flower water.
  • Divide the dough in half; place each half on a sheet of wax paper. Using the wax paper, roll each piece of dough into a 12-by-1 1/2-inch log. Wrap tightly and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom in a bowl. Slice one log of dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (keep the remaining log refrigerated). Dip the tops of dough rounds in the cardamom sugar and arrange on ungreased baking sheets; bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining log of dough.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cardamom, but I'm so glad I did. The cardamom flavor is subtle and perfectly balanced with the other ingredients.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover semolina. They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a lovely cardamom flavor.
