Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
• Optional: sliced almonds for garnish

How to Make Almond and Cardamom Cream Sandwiches

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, ground cardamom, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
6. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand to form a cookie shape.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
9. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
11. If desired, garnish the sandwiches with sliced almonds on the filling before topping with the second cookie.
12. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is at room temperature for optimal mixing.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
• Adjust the sweetness of the filling by varying the amount of powdered sugar based on your preference.

Easy Variations

• Swap almond flour for hazelnut flour for a different nutty flavor.
• Add a hint of orange zest to the filling for a refreshing twist.
• Use mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese for a richer filling.

What to Serve With It

• Freshly brewed coffee or espresso
• A cup of chai tea to complement the spices
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat
