As Chewy As Can Be!
Ok.
First, this is the most chewy cookies I’ve ever tasted in my life. I mean good-chewy! Very interesting texture as well, because it had crispy exterior, while boasting this wonderful soft grainy interior that feels surprisingly good to chew.
Second, it tasted so good, thanks to ground almond. If you’re a sweet-tooth, this is for you. If you don’t fancy cardamom, or any spices, simply ignore it. Me, a spice freak, loved the cardamom so much. In fact, I think it’s the “it” factor that made you go “mmm”. Note: use green cardamom, a.k.a. Indian cardamom. Not the white ones, a.k.a. Arabian cardamom. Ground it with mortar and pestle, a.k.a. your good old cobek.
Third, it freezes wonderfully. So you can make batches of them now, while you still have time and energy, and freeze them for Idul Fitri or whenever. Or keep them in stock for your everyday craving (true story).
Ultimately, fourth, this is dead-easy to make. A child can even bake it with eyes closed, I’m tellin’ ya.
