Cardamom Honey Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; then cook, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer brown butter to a heatproof bowl and let cool until solid.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cardamom, and salt. In another large bowl, beat brown butter and both sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add honey, cream, egg yolk, and vanilla; continue beating until well combined, about 1 minute more. Gradually add flour mixture and mix on low until just combined. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and cover with plastic wrap.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out on lightly floured parchment to 1/4-inch thickness. Roll with a textured rolling pin to imprint. Using a 2 1/2-inch square cutter, cut out cookies and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, rerolling the scraps once. Freeze until solid, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer chilled cookies to fresh parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely. (Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.)

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, allspice, pepper, and cloves in a large bowl. Place butter in a mixer bowl. Bring sugars, corn syrup, and water to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour hot sugar mixture over butter, then beat on low speed until combined.
• Beat cream, egg, and vanilla in a bowl, then add to butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
• Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Divide dough into thirds, and flatten each into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic, and refrigerate overnight (or freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out 1 disk between lightly floured parchment to 1/8-inch thickness. Alternatively, the dough can be rolled out to 1/16-inch thickness for a crisper cookie. Place a lightly floured plastic faux-bois mat on dough, pattern side down. With rolling pin, lightly roll over mat to imprint dough. Carefully remove mat. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining disks.
• Cut out shapes with holiday cookie cutters. (Alternatively, use tree template: Copy onto card stock, enlarging 200 percent. Cut out, place over dough, and cut along edge with the tip of a paring knife.) Transfer cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets, grouping similar sizes together and spacing them 1 inch apart. Roll out and cut scraps once. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. (If making small cookies, start checking after 8 minutes.) Transfer to wire racks, and let cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter, 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, cardamom and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in extract. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in walnuts., Shape dough into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15-17 minutes. , While warm, roll cookies in remaining confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over low heat, melt together sugar, butter and honey. Let cool.
• Mix together eggs, vanilla, baking soda, cardamom, nutmeg and ginger. Gradually add cooled honey mixture.
• Slowly add 4 cups of flour to mixture. Stir until well blended. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) until golden (about 12-15 minutes).

Steps:

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, cardamom, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well., Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours., Roll each disk directly on parchment to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. snowflake-shaped cookie cutter, leaving at least 2 in. between cookies. Remove trimmings; repeat with remaining dough, refrigerating dough as needed., Place parchment with cookies on baking sheets. Bake at 325° until edges are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely., In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and milk. Pipe over cookies and sprinkle with coarse sugar and/or glitter. Let dry completely.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cardamon.
• In another bowl, beat egg until frothy.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together browned butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Turn dough out onto work surface and divide into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a rectangle.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Working with one piece of dough at a time (and keeping remaining piece covered with plastic wrap), place dough on a nonstick baking mat and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Roll dough out between baking mat and plastic wrap to form a large rectangle, 1/16-inch-thick. Remove plastic wrap and place a faux-bois mat on dough, pattern side down. With rolling pin, lightly roll over mat to imprint dough.
• Carefully remove faux-bois mat. Trim edges of dough and reserve scraps. Cut into four 6-by-4-inch rectangles or two 12-by-14-inch rectangles. Carefully transfer nonstick baking mat to a baking sheet and transfer to freezer; freeze until dough is chilled, about 10 minutes. Repeat process with scraps and remaining piece of dough.
• Once dough is chilled, position rectangles so that they are 1 inch apart. Transfer to oven and bake until edges are slightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and brush with maple syrup; let cool completely.
