My kids din't eat them! They never got a chance! Warning, don't make a batch of these cookies, make at least three batches. Don't make these if you aren't willing to twist your diet into a candy cane. Don't leave them around where anyone can find them. If you think drugs are addictive your in for a shock! Oh, and lastly, don't let the fact that these are so easy to make fool you. BTW I went a tad heavy on the cardamon (fresh ground), used coconut sugar, a touch of vanilla and some smashed cashews. OMG!!!

My first time with a recipe things don’t always go right - like I discovered I only had 1/2 the sugar. I made them anyway. They are just what I hoped! Even with half the sugar they’re cardamon-y and buttery and soft coming out of the oven with crisp edges. I’ll definitely make them again because they’re really easy & fast for how good they are.

These are very rich cookies but oh so good! I scaled the recipe down to a 1/2 batch to make a lattice for a blueberry pie and still had a large glob of dough left over and got 3 cookies. No picture available...cuz I ate them! ;) They're good out of the oven but even better after cooled off and crisped up. I subbed the butter for canola oil, if others want to do so scale it down 1-2 Tbsp or else they will be very greasy to handle. For "1/2 egg" I separated a small egg that had a few drops of yolk left, binded up just perfect. The spice mix is just superb, outta this world! Made for Veggie Swap 24.
