01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sifted confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and ground cardamom into the butter mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Pinch off tablespoon-sized portions of dough and gently roll each into a thin rope, approximately 3-4 inches long. (10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Carefully join the ends of each rope to form a small circle or ring. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Place the formed cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a small space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
If using, gently press a halved almond into the top of each cookie where the ends of the circle meet. (2 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies should remain pale in color, with only a slight hint of golden brown at the edges. (25 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before handling, as they are very delicate when warm. (30 minutes)
For a more intense cardamom flavor, gently toast the ground cardamom in a dry pan for a minute or two before adding it to the dough.
These cookies are traditionally very pale. Avoid over-baking to maintain their delicate texture and appearance.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as pistachios or pine nuts, in place of almonds.
