Yield Makes about 12 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 sticks salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar cubes, coarsely crushed, or pearl sugar

Steps:

  • Beat together 1 egg and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Sift in flour and baking powder and add butter. Beat on low speed until mixture forms a dough. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly beat remaining egg. Roll level teaspoons of dough into balls and arrange 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press thumb into center of each ball to flatten, leaving a depression, and brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle crushed sugar in centers and bake in batches in middle of oven until golden, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool completely.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almond flour for oat flour. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. They still tasted good, but they weren't as pretty as I hoped.

I'm not a huge fan of cardamom, but I still really enjoyed these cookies. They're not too sweet and they have a nice chewy texture.
