Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Walnuts, chopped and toasted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cardamom, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted, chopped walnuts using a spatula.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy with a warm beverage, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
