ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup almond meal
- 2 teaspoons rose water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°F) and line a baking sheet with If You Care Parchment Paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, add the butter, powdered sugar, cardamom, and salt, and whisk until well combined. Add the almond meal, rose water and vanilla and mix for 1 minute. Fold in the flour until you have a smooth cookie dough.
Step 3
Take 2 tablespoons (30 g) of dough, roll it into a smooth ball, and place on a parchment-lined baking pan, placing each cookie 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Repeat until you have used up all of the dough. Place the baking sheet into the freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes or until the bottoms are just golden brown. Cool completely on a rack.
Step 5
To make the pink powdered sugar, blend powdered sugar and freeze dried strawberries until fine. Sift into a bowl. When the cookies are cool, roll the cookies in the powdered sugar and enjoy!
