These cookies are so soft and chewy! The texture is just perfect! Just for fun, I added candied orange peels dipped in my homemade vanilla sugar and drizzled some chocolate on as well.

Thanks for responding! Found a slightly less expensive cardamon! We made these yesterday and they were a huge hit. Freezing or chilling before is crucial to not having them spread all over! Also, We used a #40 cookie scoop and it made 45 cookies, not 24! Last – it’s a sticky dough and gets stickier as it warms! Still easy to work with. Just watch the stick! Thanks Zoe and team!

Like to be a good variation from my Moms best recipe- will try but would be in contention with hers!

In reply to Karen Monaghan. Hi Karen, it's not crucial! It will still be a delicious cookie if you choose to leave it out.

Wanted to make these and then saw price of cardamon at store. How important to the recipe is it? It’s such a rarely used spice.
