Instructions

In a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix well. Add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and ﬂour. Mix well.
Refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Use a cookie press or the bottom of a glass to ﬂatten each ball until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, until lightly golden brown around the edges.
Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
