Flourless Nut Cookies with Cardamom
10 servings
25 minutes
Nutty cardamom cookies without flour are a fragrant and delicate treat born from European baking traditions. They combine a rich nutty flavor with the exotic spice of cardamom, creating a warm, slightly spicy, and enveloping aroma. The addition of cocoa gives the baked goods a subtle chocolate note, while powdered sugar with cinnamon completes the profile with caramel sweetness. These cookies are perfect for a cozy family tea time or as an exquisite complement to coffee. Their lack of flour gives them a unique texture—slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. This treat will appeal to those who appreciate natural ingredients and the richness of flavor nuances.

Add spices and cocoa. I add cardamom seeds whole. If you don't want them in the finished cookies, it's better to grind them in a mortar. I don't recommend using ground cardamom — the effect is completely different.
