From Corby Kummer's book "Joy of Coffee" (which I highly recommend):
3 3/4 c. all purpose flour 2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. ground cardamom (use the rest in a pot of coffee, mmm) 1 c. butter, softened 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. packed brown sugar 1/4 c. honey 1 large egg 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 Tbsp. grated orange zest
Sift together flour, baking soda, salt & cardamom in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until well blended. Blend in the honey.
Add the egg, vanilla and orange zest and blend for 1 minute.
Add the flour mixture and mix well for 1 minute.
Divide the dough into 3 portions and form into flat disks about 3/4 inch thick. Wrap in plastic & refridgerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat over to 350F, with a rack in the middle. Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
Remove disks from refrigerator. Roll out dough on a a lightly floured surface until 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
Bake 1 sheet at a time for 10 - 12 minutes until cookies are fim and light gold around the edges. Remove cookies from pan immediately and let cool on a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for 9 months.
Don't mind the peanut butter cookies in the background, 3 of my family members are gluten-free.
