Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, add sugar and lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub the lemon zest and sugar together until the sugar is pale yellow and fragrant. Add butter and mix until well combined. Add vanilla and milk and mix again until well combined. Add dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth dough. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together cardamom and sugar for coating.
Roll 1 1/2 tablespoon size scoops of dough (30g each) into 12 balls. Roll each cookie doughball into the cardamom sugar mixture until well coated and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes and then cool completely on a rack.
If you want to make an ice cream sandwich, scoop a generous size scoop onto half the cookies and top with the rest of the cookies. Freeze until hard and enjoy!
