At home, my kitchen is never lacking [cardamom](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/cardamom-pods/profile). I like this spice so much that I’ve got a separate hand-held spice grinder filled with just [hulled cardamom](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/cardamom-hulled/profile) (hint, if you use a [clear glass vase grinder](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/vase-grinder/profile), you won’t get your cardamom confused with your black pepper). This way, I can have freshly ground cardamom goodness whenever I want! One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is in sweets, like shortbread or teacake. I adapted this recipe for my gluten-free and dairy-free friends, so we could all enjoy it together.

*Makes about 4 dozen small, bite-size cookies. *

**Ingredients: **

- 2 1/4 cup organic gluten-free flour (I used a combination of oat flour and coconut flour)
- 1/2 cup [organic olive oil](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/olive-oil-culinary-bottle/profile) (or vegan butter)
- 1/2 cup [organic almond oil](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/almond-sweet-oil-organic-culinary-bottle/profile) (or vegan butter)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp. [organic ground cardamom](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/cardamom-powder/profile)
- 1/2 tsp [baking soda](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/baking-soda/profile)
- 1/2 tsp [organic cinnamon powder](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/cinnamon-sweet-powder/profile)
- pinch of [organic ground ginger](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/ginger-root-powder/profile)
- pinch of [sea salt](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/sea-salt/profile)

**Directions: **

1. Mix wet ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
2. Mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.
3. Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
4. After the batter is well mixed, let it sit for one hour.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Shape the batter into 1-inch balls and flatten so they are about ¼-inch thick.
7. Place cookies on cookie sheet.
8. Bake for 10 minutes (or until lightly brown) at 350 degrees Farenheit.
9. Let cool.

## How To Serve:

Before enjoying, sprinkle a little extra ground cardamom and powdered sugar. Or, drizzle with a little icing (mix a tablespoon of water with enough powdered sugar and cardamom powder to form a glaze). You could even add some granulated sugar and a few sprinkles of [Kiawe Smoked Sea Salt](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/kiawe-smoked-sea-salt/profile) for a nice sweet ‘n salty crunch. Enjoy!
