Chocolate Chip and Cardamom Cookies

Cardamom  has a very distinct flavour, that can not be replaced. It is most widely used in Middle Eastern, Morrocan and Indian cooking. And is now becoming more recognized in the Western cooking. It is a very versatile spice used in savory and sweet dishes.
Health claims for cardamom in Ayurvedic cooking, is that it is a warming spice. Promoting circulation and is a vasodilator... but really.. I just wanted to play with the flavour, because it has such an amazing aroma.

These are not going to last, so I recommend doubling the recipe and freezing some :)

Ingredients


1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cane sugar(sucunat)
2 tbs real vanilla extract or  equivelant 1 vanilla bean seeded
2 large eggs-or 3 small

Add a couple of table spoons of water at a time to bring the dough together. Drop by large spoonfuls onto an un-greased baking sheet.

I dare you to try and NOT have one right out of the oven!
