Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salted butter (melted)
  • 1½ cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
  • 1½ teaspoon ground cardamom (divided)
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large heatproof bowl, melt the butter. Add in 1 cup of granulated sugar and all of the brown sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Beat in eggs until well incorporated.
  • Zest the orange over the bowl and add ½ teaspoon of cardamom. Mix well.
  • Add the flour and baking soda to the bowl and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom.
  • Scoop generous tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into a ball. Coat the ball in the cardamom-sugar mixture and place on parchment-lined baking sheets about 2-3 inches apart.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottom of the cookie is just starting to develop color.
  • Allow cookies to sit on the baking sheets for an additional 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container. Cookies will soften with storage.
