Would make this again.
not much flavor to these, I would try upping the cardomom to 1 tsp. and possibly the cinnamon as well.
I also found that it only made half as many as stated.
I will make these again as with a bit of tweaking, I'm sure they'll be fab.

I stamped these using my "God Jul" cookie stamp for our fair and Saint Lucia festival at church. They were a big hit! Very flavorful!
