As far back as I remember, I have loved cardamom. My grandmother often added the spice to her baked goods. I usually make these cookies with a spritz press—and camel disk—that I found at a thrift shop. It reminds me of a time when I rode a camel in the desert while deployed with the Navy. Of course, any design will do! —Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cardamom, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
