FINNISH CARDAMOM COOKIES

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cardamon.
• In another bowl, beat egg until frothy.
• Beat sugar and butter into egg. Mix well.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix until batter is smooth.

CINNAMON (OR CARDAMON) BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Bring butter to room temperature. Cream butter to the consistency of mayonnaise.
• 2. Mix and sift flour, p. sugar, and corn starch. Add to butter mixture, creaming constantly.
• 3. Add cinnamon.
• 4. Chill thoroughly.
• 5. Roll into small balls, about 1 inch diameter, and place on cookie sheets. (I use a small Pampered Chef scoop and drop onto parchment covered cookie sheets.) Can also be used in a pastry tube. For best results, do not use air-bake pans.
• 6. Flatten with floured tines of a fork. I suggest keeping the dough as cold as possible throughout steps 5 and 6 by working quickly and refrigerating dough when not working with it.
• 7. Optional: We add colored sugar to the tops, since we make these during the Christmas season, before baking.
• 8. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for approximately 20 minutes, OR until delicately browned. (For best results, watch them carefully to be certain they are slightly browned but only slightly browned. That's when they have the perfect texture (after they cool)!
• 9. Cool on wire racks.
• 10. Enjoy your tender, delicate, subtly flavored little butter cookies!

CINNAMON BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together 1 cup butter and white sugar. Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine together the sifted flour, salt and ground cinnamon and stir into butter mixture.
• Cover and chill dough for 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly flour a rolling pin. Roll out dough on lightly floured wax paper and cut with cookie cutter. As dough warms it becomes unworkable. Return to refrigerator as needed. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.
• To Make Icing: Sift confectioners' sugar into mixing bowl. Add vanilla, salt, and butter. Add milk one tablespoon at a time while beating until spreadable consistency. Continue beating on medium for 10 minutes. Ice cookies.

CARDAMOM COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together baking soda, cardamom, cinnamon and flour and reserve.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-hgih speed, beat sugar and butter together until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until thouroughly combined. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Roll dough into balls and transfer to baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Carefully press dough with flat bottom of drinking glass and bake until llightly browned, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add milk, cardamom and cinnamon and beat well. Reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar to reach desired consistency. Spread icing on cooled cookies.
• Note: This icing is fairly soft, and does not harden. If you like your icing to be a bit stiffer, try adding slightly less milk and more confectioners sugar.
