Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orange zest, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, orange zest, orange juice, and ground cardamom.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
