Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat without stirring for about 30 minutes, until it turns a golden brown color. Remove from heat.
3
Place the browned butter in a bowl set over a larger bowl of cold water to help it firm up for about 90 minutes.
4
Once the butter is solidified, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, baking powder, vanilla (or almond) extract, and cardamom. Mix until well combined.
5
Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture. The dough will be stiff and crumbly, but should form easily when rolled.
6
If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of water to help it come together.
7
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, press a whole almond on top of each ball.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
