These are really yummy! Soft, chewy, light, and very good. I left out the walnuts, and used more raisins instead. The cardamom/cinnamon combination is excellent- the cardamom being the prominent flavor. I didn't have a vanilla bean on hand, so I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead. I got 24 fairly large cookies from this recipe, which will be greatly enjoyed! Thanks for posting. Reviewed for PAC, Spring 2010.
