This recipe is so memorable! It’s so dang good and to me they taste like Christmas. I’ve made these several times before and so when I saw them being offered here on Recipezazz, I knew I just had to make them again for our Christmas cookie tray! I’m making another batch for my nephew’s family gathering this weekend, that’s how much we love these cookies. Thank you, Mikekey, for sharing these yumma, yumma cookies.

Wow, were these cookies good. We really enjoyed the cardamom in them. I ground my own cardamom, it permeated the cookies, leaving a lovely subtle flavor. Thanks for sharing another winner Mikekey. I'll be making these again. Made for "Cooking around the Christmas Tree" Tag Game.
