In the last few months I’ve hardcore fallen in love with cardamom. The flavour is so unique and it adds a nice warmth and spice to any baked good. I love adding a pinch to pies, but I wanted to try and make it a focal point in something.
Enter these cookies. I had a bunch of pistachios leftover from my pistachio lime squares and thought pistachios and cardamom would go perfectly together. Throw some chocolate in because why not and we have these cookies!
The result is a perfectly spiced fall cookie and the pistachios add a delicious crunch. Sneak them into a movie this week like I did and I promise you won’t regret it!
