Скачать или смотреть Cardamom cookies. INTRODUCTION.

I'm really excited to share some big news.
Being surrounded by people of different nationalities and curious about their experiences, I decided to launch a media project on YouTube - a show in which its participants share what helps them stay connected with friends and family when they live abroad.

This show is called "Cardamom Cookies." Its title is an homage to one inspiring culinary experience I made with a dear friend of mine. If you're interested in learning more, check out this video.

If you live abroad and would like to share your story, please let me know. If your friend is an expat and you think his or her story is worthy of being told, please send me a message to [email protected].

I look forward to sharing other stories with you!

Recipe of Cardamom cookies

Ingredients:
300 gr of plain flour
200 gr of unsalted butter
100 gr of sugar
1 tbsp of warm milk
1 tbsp of ground cardamom and a pinch of salt
Zest and juice of one orange

Cooking:
First of all, we add cardamom to the warm milk and let it soak for about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, we dice butter and gently mix it with brown sugar.
In a large bowl we combine butter and sugar mix with warm milk with cardamom, flour, orange zest and juice and mix them well. The dough should be crumbly to prevent the cookies to be hard (shortbread dough).

Once ready we roll our dough into a cylindrical shape, wrap it in film and refrigerate it about 30 mins.
After half an hour in refrigerator our cookies are perfect to be cut (may be a little bit longer, the dough sausage should be thick). Cut this sausage on disks of a thickness about 2 cm and, using a baking sheet spread them on a baking tray.
To make the flavor more pronounced sprinkle the cookies with a mixture of ground cardamom and sugar.
Oven to be preheated at 180 degrees and we leave our cookies to bake for about 12-15 minutes until they are golden and your home smells like Christmas market or a pastry shop.
Enjoy!
