NOTES : If you're not crazy about cardamom, reduce the amount in the recipe

to 1/2 teaspoon or substitute 1/2 teaspoon of allspice.

The best way to store low-fat cookies is in layers separated by wax paper or

plastic wrap in an airtight container in the freezer. Defrost at room

temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
