Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2/3 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons organic coconut oil or 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Recipe

• 1 in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt & cardamom. set aside.
• 2 in a large mixer bowl, cream together the butter, coconut oil and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• 3 beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.
• 4 mix in the flour mixture until just combined. divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log (about 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick) and roll in plastic wrap or parchment. place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour (or overnight -- this would be a great place to freeze the dough logs for a future treat. just thaw them overnight in the fridge and bake as usual!).
• 5 when you're getting ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375ºf. line a few baking sheets with parchment paper. take each roll out of the fridge, slice into rounds about 1/2" thick and place on the baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
• 6 bake until just barely golden brown on bottom, about 8-10 minutes.
