These rolls are great! My DD and I made these together. The dough was so soft and easy to work with - just right for a youngster (or oldster like me) to have great success. The slight taste of cardamom was very nice and of course anything cinnamon or almond is wonderful so the combination was a winner. We will make these again very soon. Thanks stormylee!
