Smoky Cardamom Ginger-Molasses Cookies

Name: Smoky Cardamom Ginger-Molasses Cookies
Cuisine: European
Ingredients: 14 tablespoon butter; 5 black cardamom pods; 1 cup sugar; 1/4 cup molasses; 1 egg; 1 cup bread flour; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ginger; 1/2 teaspoon cloves; 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg; 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; 1/2 cup sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

If you're looking for a crisp-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside wintery cookie with a little extra something, look no further. Infusing the butter with black cardamom pods takes things to the next level, giving the cookies a hint of savoriness. If you can’t find black cardamom or would rather skip it, reduce the butter by 2 tbsp and add 1/4 tsp of ground cardamom instead.
