Saw the Hairy Bikers make these cookies on their TV trip to Scandinavia, so decided to have a go. They taste much better than they look here:

Cardamom and lemon cookies

Ingredients
·225g butter, softened
·150g caster sugar
·finely grated zest of 1 lemon
·250g plain flour
·100g ground almonds
·3tsp ground cardamom or 1 heaped tsp cardamom seeds, ground in a pestle and mortar

You can also make these cookies using a biscuit press. They’ll be about half the size, so cook them for 10–12 minutes instead.

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5. Line 2 large baking trays with baking parchment.

2. Using an electric hand-whisk, beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest together in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the flour, almonds and cardamom until the mixture is well combined and comes together to form a stiff dough.

3. Roll the dough into 24 balls and place 12 on each baking tray – make sure you leave space between each one.

4. Bake a tray at a time for 12–14 minutes until the cookies are pale golden brown. Leave them to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. They will crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight tin and eat within 7 days.
