Ingredients
1 1/2
cups
(3 sticks) butter, softened
1
cup
natural raw cane sugar (turbinado) *
2
large
egg yolks
4
cups
flour
3
to
4 tablespoons pre-ground cardamom or 2 3 tablespoons freshly ground cardamom seed**
1/2
teaspoon
salt
1
tablespoon
lemon or orange zest (about 1 large lemon or small orange), freshly grated, optional
Decorating Icing:
6
tablespoons
(3/4 stick) butter, softened
3
cups
confectioners' sugar
Pinch salt
3/4
teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
2
to
3 tablespoons lime, orange or lemon juice, at room temperature
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine butter and sugar; cream together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Add flour, cardamom, salt and zest; blend until dough is evenly mixed. Adjust cardamom to taste.
Divide dough in four balls on sheets of plastic wrap, and flatten each into a disk. Wrap tightly, and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or butter them.
Take 1 ball of dough from refrigerator. (Keep remaining dough chilled.) On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into shapes and place on prepared baking sheets.
Bake until bottoms just begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on pan 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Continue to roll, cut and bake remaining dough.
For the icing, combine butter, sugar, salt and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat at low speed, gradually adding juice to reach desired consistency. Decorate completely cooled cookies, as desired.
Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.
*Use large, granular-type cane sugars; in particular, large crystal Turbinado sugar or Demerara work well.
**Cardamom can be found in the spice section of most grocery stores.
Additional Notes
Additional colored sanding sugar, optional, for decorating
