Orange-Cardamom Cookies

I used this recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/printerfriendly/orange-cardamom-cookies-240927

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream


EXCEPT I doubled the cardamom as suggested in the comments on the recipe, I used a whole egg instead of an egg yolk, I used half-and-half instead of heavy cream because it's what I had in the fridge, and used tangelo zest because the tangelos were on sale.

I also didn't roll and cut - I made a log, froze it, and sliced rounds to bake.

They were really good - light and crisp.
