Swedish Hazelnut Cardamom Cookies
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
- 2/3cup butter (about 2/3 cups), room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cardamom seeds
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180-degrees C (350-degrees F).
Prepare Cookie Mix:
2. Ground hazelnuts using a food processor or blender, then ground cardamom seeds using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
3. Using a medium bowl, combine butter and sugar, and mix until properly combined.
4. Add flour, baking powder, ground hazelnut, and ground cardamom, then mix. It is better to use your hands for mixing at this point until a dough is formed.
Cutting and Baking Cardamom Cookies:
5. Place dough between two baking sheets and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough.
6. Rotate the baking sheets to make it easier to roll the entire dough into the desired size.
7. Once the dough is about 32 cm x 25 in size, peel off the dough's top baking sheet.
8. Cut the cookies into the desired size. For this recipe, I use a medium-sized cookie cutter (about 5 & 1/2 cm diameter).
9. Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with a baking sheet.
10. Place the baking tray in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies started getting darker on top.
11. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
12. Serve with sprinkled ground cardamom (if preferred).
