    Sesame Cardamom Chews

    Sesame Cardamom Chews are a deliciously spiced cookie rolled in toasted nutty sesame seeds with a buttery creamy frosting. Sesame Cardamom Chews

    Before I sat down this evening I spent a few hours in the kitchen. I had no plans to cook dinner because I was warming up meatloaf and mashed potatoes leftover from last evening. Since I didn't have to cook dinner, I decided it was time to try one of my earmarked recipes in one of my holiday magazines.

    I wanted something different but good. Something intriguing. I decided to make Sesame Cardamom Chews. The recipe is in the recent Land O' Lakes Holiday cookies magazine. I definitely made the right choice! Ever since the Daring Baker Challenge where we made the Danish Braid I have looked for things I could use cardamom in. I never realized that was probably the spice that I loved in my Chai Tea until I actually used it to cook with myself!

    Sesame Cardamom Chews

    I first toasted brown sesame seeds for the recipe. Then I mixed the recipe up, rolled the dough in the seeds and baked. I have to admit, that cookie dough was divine and when I "accidently" dropped a piece of dough in the seeds, I had to try it and it was even more divine! I could not wait to try one after they were baked. These would probably be great without the frosting but because the frosting also called for cardamon I had to make it! Be forewarned. They are sweet. You won't want more than one....unless you don't frost them! :~)

    2. Place sesame seeds in small bowl. Shape dough into 1- inch balls. Roll balls in sesame seed. Place 1" apart onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 9-12 minutes or until golden brown (mine took 11 minutes to cook). Cool 1 minute. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
    3. To make frosting: combine all frosting ingredients in medium bowl; adding enough half & half (I only needed 3 tablespoons) for desired spreading consistency. Beat until well mixed. Frost cooled cookies, let stand until set.
