- Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg yolk.
- Stir in the cardamom, salt, and flour.
- Divide the dough in two, roughly shape each piece into a log about 1 inch thick, then roll in plastic wrap or wax paper. Pull each log through you thumb and first finger to make it even and, if you prefer, longer and narrower.
- Refrigerate until firm or freeze until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Cut the dough into 1/4-inch rounds or diagonals and set themon cookie sheets at least 1 inch apart.
- Bake until pale golden on top and lightly browned around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cool. Serve plain or dusted with confectioner's sugar.
- Note: Time to Make does not include the time to chill the dough.
