NOTES : Cookie Tips

Generous amounts of cardamom and cinnamon give these cookies their

spicy kick. If you prefer a milder flavor, cut the amount of

spices in half.

Cardamom

Cardamom is an exotic spice with a warm, slightly pungent flavor.

It's best to purchase the whole pods and crush the seeds as needed

because the ground seeds quickly lose their flavor and aroma.

Sand Dollars: Cut dough with round 3-inch cutter. Place on cookie

sheet. Draw five-pointed star in middle of circle. Make small hole

in center and indentations at edge of circle. After baking, brush

with uncolored Thin Glaze; sprinkle with granulated sugar if

desired.

Starfish: Cut dough with five-pointed star-shape cutter. Place on

cookie sheet. Curve tips of stars and make indentations down

center of each starfish "arm" with knife. After baking, brush with

tinted Thin Glaze.
