Cardamom Nuggets

From: http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~goodwine/cardamomnugget.htm A nice, simple cookie. The cardamom goes nicely with coffee.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup ground almonds
• 1 teaspoon cardamom powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease cookie sheet.
2. Beat the eggs until frothy. Add sugars and lemon juice. Beat for a further 6 to 7 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in cardamom. Add flour, baking powder and almonds. Mix well.
3. Roll the dough into snakes about 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut into 1 inch pieces and place on cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until brown on bottom.

NOTE (from original recipe): I forgot to put the almonds in once. They were still good, but not quite the same. Be careful not to over cook, or you will end up with a bunch of hard little nuggets.
