Take a break from traditional gingerbread and sugar cookies and mix things up with these Pistachio Cardamom Cookies! They’re crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle, with the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, salty, and nutty flavors.
‘Tis the season for cookies! When it comes to Christmas cookies, I have a tendency to go a little crazy. The holiday season always seems like the perfect excuse to bake tray after tray. This past weekend, I tried made recipes: eggnog sugar cookies that I’ll share next week and these pistachio cardamom cookies.
I first made these last year, and they’re definitely toward the top of my favorites list. They’re rich and buttery with a big punch of warm cardamom flavor that seems perfect for the season. They’re totally addictive and taste unlike anything else I’ve ever had.
Go ahead and give them a try – they’d make a great addition to your Christmas cookie repertoire!

I love cardamom. It’s one of my go-to spices when I’m making, well–anything!
Margo says
I have some pre-ground cardamom. How much should I put in? 1/4 teaspoon or so? I love it, but it can overpower other ingredients. Thanks!

Whoops – thanks for pointing out that I missed that word in the recipe! I just updated it in the post, but I use 1 Tablespoon of ground cardamom. It’s strong, but it’s definitely the star of these cookies.

I love cardamom in sweet things! It’s always so unexpected but totally delicious.

I have this thing with cardamom. Sort of like a love affair/siren song. It’s crazy. Love these cookies. Beautiful.
