•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
•
12 almonds, split

Stir butter and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth; stir in flour and cardamom until well blended.
3
Pinch off tablespoons of dough; roll into thin ropes. Join ends together into circles; place 1 almond half on seams where circles join. Place on the prepared cookie sheets.
