Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Orange Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Zest of one orange

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cardamom, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Egg & Vanilla: Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract until well combined.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

            Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

              Flatten Slightly: Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork or your fingers to create a nice cookie shape.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

                  Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Prepare Orange Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, orange zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more orange juice until you reach the desired consistency.

                      Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the orange glaze over the cookies using a fork or a piping bag for a more refined look.

                        Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delightful Cardamom Cookies with Orange Glaze!
