"A simple traditional recipe for cookies similar to shortbread. The wonderful flavor comes from the cardamom, which is fairly expensive, but very worth it. I actually prefer them without the almonds, but you might add them if you like."

Rich cute cookies. I could have used a bit more help in deciding how big a "bit" of dough was and how thin the thin ropes should be. The white color is kind of nice actually. I liked the almond. If you like shortbread, this recipe will make a nice variation for you. -
Let me start by saying that my kids absolutely loved these! Except for the almond, but I was more than happy to eat those LOL. I used white wheat flour here with no problems. I loved how the cardamom adds that little extra "something". Thanks so much for posting! Made for ZWT 9, Gourmet Goddesses.
