How to Make Orange Cardamom Icebox Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 tablespoons orange zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon orange extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 12-inch log on a piece of plastic wrap.
- Wrap tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, unwrap the dough logs and slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds.
- Place cookies 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
