Lemon-Cardamom White Chocolate Cookies

These cookies are crispy and chewy. A touch of cardamom makes them a special treat.

Cardamom is not a spice that I grew up with. Once married, my husband introduced me to Indian food, and with it came cardamom. It can be found ground or whole seeds (inside a pod). I usually buy both and use the ground one for bread and cookies and the seeds to add to rice or chicken stew.

The idea of these lemon-cardamom white chocolate cookies came from a recipe for cinnamon rolls I've made before.

These rolls have lemon zest and ground cardamom, instead of the more common sugar and cinnamon mixture. It's so yummy! One of those rolls that people always remember and ask for them every time they see you.

These white chocolate cookies go great with lemon and cardamom. The edges are crisp and the center is chewy. Just yum! Don't forget to add the lemon drizzle, it's just the perfect touch for these cookies!

    I love cardamom and didn't particularly think of it with lemon, but can definitely see it working. These sound delicious (as do those rolls you mention!)

    Never knew that lemon works so well with cardamom. These cookies are delicious, and a more grown-up version than your typical chocolate chips cookies. 🙂
