| Finnish Cardamom Balls
1/2 cup of soft butter 1/2 cup of sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup of skim milk 2 cups of sifted white flour 2 teaspoons of baking powder 3 teaspoons of crushed or powdered cardamom |
| Cream butter and sugar until light. Add egg, beating until thick. Stir in milk. Sift flour with baking powder and add with cardamom to creamed mixture, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Chill thoroughly. Shape chilled dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and arrange on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 375ºF. for 10-12 minutes or until golden. If you wish, you may brush cookies with egg before baking to give them a shiny glaze. Makes 48.
