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.

    A little tricky to roll the dough, but the final product is so worth it! So delicate and flavorful.

    I tried these without the almonds, as suggested, and they were still delicious! I'll definitely be making these again.
