• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 50 blanched whole almonds, toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Place butter in a large heavy skillet and cook over medium-low heat without stirring for about 15 minutes, or until butter is a light tan color. Pour into mixing bowl. Place over a bowl of cold water and chill until firm.

Add sugar, baking powder, vanilla and cardamom; beat until combined. Stir in flour.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Top each with an almond; press almond slightly into dough.

Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to wire rack and cool.
