These are family tradition for my mom. Hers were with honey and about 30 drops of anise oil, though... and yes, of course cardamon! The dough sat in the fridge for a week before baking. Most years, we made them in September to age. The real treat: one year when a very well-packed tin went missing...to be found the next year while tree-decorating... they were the best I've ever tasted. But we couldn't manufacture that patience :)
These are simple to make! I would add a pinch of salt and I’m enjoying the cookies I dusted with the confectioners sugar a bit more. They’re really crunchy and good. Also, my mom was Swedish and German and my father was Irish, so like you I have lots of great baking traditions to choose from.
