Orange Cardamom Shortbread
Ingredients
Instructions
- whisk together flour, sugar, cardamom, salt, and orange zest in a bowl; transfer to food processor
- add butter and pulse until uniformly combined (texture will be dry, and crumbly)
- add the orange flower water, and pulse until the mixture is uniformly blended (it will still be crumbly, but should hold together when pressed); roll into two balls, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least one hour
- roll dough to approximately 1/3" thick; cut into desired shapes; place on cookie sheet lined with parchment
- brush cookies with egg wash (egg and milk), and sprinkle with sugar
- bake in a 350 oven for about 12 minutes, or until the shortbread is just beginning to lightly brown; carefully move to racks to cool
