Spiced Honey Cardamom Cookies with Orange Glaze
Ingredients
- 5 1/2 tablespoons butter softened to room temp
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 2-4 tablespoons orange juice add to desired thickness of icing
Preparation
In a large bowl cream together butter, sugar and honey until smooth, then beat in egg until fluffy.
Add spices, baking soda, baking powder, and flour to bowl and fold it all in until no clumps of flour remain and a soft dough is formed.
Cover and place in fridge until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet and remove dough from fridge.
On clean lightly floured work roll dough out until about 1/8 inch thickness, because they will puff up a bit.
Use your favorite cookie cutters or cookie stamps to cut out your shapes.
Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart, and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Re-roll scraps as needed to create more cookies
Glazing
Sift powdered sugar into a small bowl and add 2-5 tablespoons orange juice, depending on your preferred icing thickness.
Dip cookies in glaze and you can use the side of the bowl to scrape excess icing off or just let them drip on a wire rack.
