Ingredients

  • 1 (9-in.) pie-crust pastry, store-bought or homemade, rolled out to about 1/8 in. thick
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon cardamom
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°. With 3-in. leaf-shaped cookie -cutters, cut out as many cookies as you can (reroll scraps to make more cookies), setting them on a -parchment-lined baking sheet as you go. Prick cookies all over with a fork (this will keep them from puffing up as they bake).
  • With fork, mix egg with 1 tbsp. water to make an egg wash. Brush cookies with egg wash, then stir cardamom and sugar together and sprinkle it onto cookies.
  • Bake cookies, rotating pan position halfway through, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle warm cookies with more cardamom sugar and let cool completely on baking sheets.
  • Make ahead: Up to 1 week, airtight at room temperature.
