The ultimate chewy, spice cookie featuring a crunchy sugary coating.

The Best Chewy Cardamom Cookies

(200 grams) unsalted butter (1 ¾ sticks)

espresso powder

cardamom

¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (300 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour

baking soda

baking powder

⅔ cups (356 grams) packed light brown sugar

orange zest

kosher salt +

vanilla extract

turbinado, demerara sugar

Heat 10 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, swirling pan constantly until butter is dark golden brown and has a nutty aroma, 2–3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl with remaining 4 tablespoons butter, instant espresso and cardamom. Stir to combine and melt butter; set aside for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in medium bowl; set aside.

Add brown sugar, orange zest, and salt to bowl with cooled butter; whisk until no sugar lumps remain, about 30 seconds.

Add egg, yolk, and vanilla and whisk until fully incorporated and pale in color, about 1 minute.

Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula, then add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Give dough a final stir with rubber spatula to ensure no flour pockets remain.

In a shallow bowl or plate combine turbinado and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.

Using ¼ cup measure (#16 scoop, 2-ounce scoop, or 65-70 grams per ball), scoop dough and roll into balls. Working in batches, toss dough balls in turbinado sugar mixture and roll to coat; transfer 5 dough balls to prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2–3 inches apart.

Bake, one sheet at a time, until cookies are still puffy and edges have just begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will look raw between cracks and seem underdone), 11–12 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Do not overbake.

Repeat rolling, coating and baking with remaining cookie dough.

Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes; using wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room temperature.

Irresistible cookies. Perfect flavor combinations and will be a regular in my recipe box. On a side note the recipes when printed are chopped up with ads and half pages. To print this recipe it would require 22 pages and a few weeks ago the format didn’t do this. If fixable would really appreciate, thanks.

Orange and cardamom bring your average sugar cookie up a notch in these flavorful chewy vegan sugar cookies!

Vegan Orange Cardamom Sugar Cookies

vegan butter

cup+ 2 Tablespoons organic sugar (1/2 cup for dough, 2 Tablespoons

Tablespoon orange zest

Tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Tablespoon ground flaxseed

cup+ 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

salt (only need if unsalted butter)

Tablespoon orange juice (freshly squeezed)

orange zest (optional, to top glaze/cookies)

First add the butter, 1/2 cup sugar, orange zest, and cardamom to a bowl and cream together until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Then, add in the orange juice and ground flax and gently mix together.

Next, add in sifted flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix until a smooth and thick cookie batter forms. Do not overmix or else you will form too much gluten and the cookies will not spread as much and be tough.

Then, add the bowl of dough to the fridge, cover, and let chill for 30 minutes- 1 hour.

Cover a baking sheet in parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350F. Next, remove the dough from the fridge and use a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop to form your cookie dough (40 grams per cookie of dough). Roll into balls between your palms and then roll in the 2 Tbsp of sugar that was set aside so that each dough ball is coated.

Place the orange sugar cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet. If you want flatter cookies, you can lightly press the dough down with your palm. Make sure that each cookie is kept about 2 inches apart since they will spread slightly while baking.

Bake for 11-14 minutes until bottoms are lightly browned and the cookie is cooked through but has slightly soft centers. The cookies will continue baking after they are removed from the oven so the centers should still be soft, but not glossy or raw, when they are removed from the oven.

Remove the cookie tray from the oven and immediately tap the tray on the counter to produce a more “wrinkly” cookie. Then, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. The cookies will be soft and puffy out of the oven and will naturally deflate a little while cooling.

While the cookies are cooling, make the orange glaze by adding orange juice to a small mixing bowl. Then, gradually add in the powdered sugar and whisk together until a thick glaze forms. Drizzle the glaze on completely cooled cookies and top with optional orange zest. Let sit 5 minutes to harden and then serve!

I couldn't say what happened, but this cookies spread faaar too much when I made them. The flavours were stil lovely, though personally I would have gone lighter on the cardamom as it overpowered the orange. Thanks for the recipe!

These are genuinely awesome cookies, especially if you particularly enjoy citrus and cardamom but still a banger if you just like a good cookie :) I recommend rubbing the orange zest and sugar together with your fingers to get all the essential oils out and to add cinnamon if you like :)

I made these just now and they are SO delicious! I’ve never had a cookie with these kind of flavors before! Thanks so much for the recipe!

I just made these because I wanted to try something with the orange/cardamom flavor combination - they are delicious!

So delicious - I will be making them over and over.

A new favorite! I used more cardamom and they were delicious. Defiantly would make again.

I've made these a few times over the years and they are gorgeous everytime! So aromatic and flavourful, definitely in my top 5 cookie recipes - thank you so much for sharing!

This recipe turned out great! I did make a few changes: added some cinammon and vanilla, and didn’t roll them in sugar or add glaze (just sprinkled some coarse sugar on top before baking) to make it less sweet. Very good and will make again!
