We’re big fans of cinnamon but have found a new favorite spice: cardamom. Turns out, it's an amazing replacement for cinnamon in cookies, rolls and scones. We saw a recipe for cardamom cinnamon rolls that got rave reviews and decided to experiment with our scone recipe.
We were surprised to find that ground cardamom wasn't overpowering but mild and enjoyable. In fact, together with the orange zest and dried cherries the three flavors compliment one another without any one standing out. It’s kind of like they're made for each other.
For extra points with your mom, cut them out with heart-shaped cookie cutters. Enjoy!
