After that spicy coriander bread, today is for the sweet and simple cardamom cookies. I am not much of a sweet bake person. I love baking breads (too obvious, huh?) and other savory dishes but not so much of cookies or cakes. But surprisingly my cookies are reasonably popular whenever I bake them. I guess I should credit the recipe more and less my skills in that regard. Today’s cookies are adapted from Priya’s blog who is an amazing cook and baker and her recipes are fabulous.
Why I like this dish?
These cardamom cookies are very easy and quick to make. They are eggless and have the richness of almonds and cashews. They make for a popular evening snack with tea or a quite bite for travel or a lovely gift to family and friends. Trust me, I have become more popular since I have baked and gifted these cardamom cookies.

Simply love cardamom flavor in cookies, and the addition of almonds sounds absolutely interesting. Am sure these cookies will definitely please my sweet tooth.
Cardamom is such a great flavour to add in cookies. The nuts would add some interesting texture too. These are perfect with a cup of coffee and a book to read..
Flavorful cookies,addition of nuts give a nice texture to the cookies.Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
Cardamom is a flavour that wins my heart . I remember my mom used to get cardamom cookies made from a special bakery and those were the only cookies I ate back then .
The cookies look fantastic and made me nostalgic 🙂
While I might have loved the savoury bakes, these cookies looks yummy too.
I too end up with savory bakes rather than cookies so I understand that completely. The mildly spiced nut cookies looks great!
So much crunch in those cookies… and what not to love about cardamom!

I love the flavour of cardamom in cookies. You have baked it so well
Cardamon in cookies is always a winning entry and add to that you have used whole wheat flour and all those nuts. I would say they are healthy too. Awesome share.
Cardamom and nuts are usually great pairings. I bet they tasted so awesome.
Nuts add a beautiful melt in mouth texture and flavor to cookies.
these simple cookies are perfect for tea time and with cardamom the flavor must be awesome!
Since there is no creaming involved I can safely say this is my favourite recipe. Sounds yummy I want some when I come down. 😀
