My guests & I enjoyed these, they were 100% gone, and I'll keep & make the recipe again sometime. If you like cardamom, these are really tasty. I guess I made the balls a little too big because I only got like 40 cookies, and they were a little fatter & less spread out than the picture, but I liked them better a little softer/chewier than crispy.
