It's a delicious spice, I grind it and add to my coffee grounds

before brewing. Here is a recipe for cookies with Cardamom.

 

CARDAMOM COOKIES

3 1/4 cups sifted flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground Cardamom

1 cup butter or margerine, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

3/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup slivered blanched almonds

 

Sift dry ingredients except almonds. Cream butter or margerine with

sugars until light and fluffy, beat in egg. Add dry sifted

ingredients alternating with the cream, a bit at a time. Add the

almonds last and knead the dough together. Form the dough into 2 inch

diameter rolls and wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate

and chill for at least 2 hours. When ready to bake preheat oven to

350F degrees. Cut rolls into 1/8 inch slices and bake 10-12 minutes

on ungreased cookie sheets. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
