----------------------------------

The scroll text reads as follows:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons almond extract

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 cup milk chocolate chips (higher quality the better)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Extra sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom to roll the cookies in.

Instructions

Put the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom in a mixing bowl. Stir until well-mixed. Set aside. Put the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in another mixing bowl. Using a high-speed mixing spell, beat together until well-blended and creamy for about 3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and orange zest. Add the flour mixture and stir with the wooden spoon until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop up a rounded tablespoonful of the dough. Roll the balls in a small bowl filled with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom. Drop onto a baking sheet. Repeat until you have used up all the dough. Be sure to leave about 1 inch between the cookies because they spread as they bake.

Bake until golden brown for about 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Place the cookies on cooling racks and aim a fan at the tray to create a slight breeze to waft the aroma of the cooling cookies towards those who wish to enjoy the evocative smells of food.

There is a note taped to this recipe:

Mon-- these cookies smell fantastic, but they taste awful. I never thought I'd be the one to say this, but you need to cut back on the spice. It be overwhelming everything else going on with the cookie. I can't even taste the chocolate. Don't get me started on the mouth feel. The cookie is gritty, and the orange zest is more like chunks of peel. The smell got my taste buds watering, but my mouth dried up right after I bit into it. I'd be happy to get you some edible recipes, for a price.

Has anyone tested to see if these cookies really do taste terrible?

Comment by Sharkon

Being a professional baker, of course I had to get up and make these as soon as I found the recipe.

Process:

My butter and sugar never reached the stated creamy state, instead achieving a grainy paste-like consistency -- possibly because I was too impatient to let my butter fully cool from the browning, but seemed to work out regardless. The amount of dough resulting from the recipe was more than enough to fill a single halfsheet pan with 18 cookies of the recommended size with about half the dough still remaining. I used a blend of ~1 Tablespoon white granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a dash each of cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg whisked together for the rolling spice, and ran out on the second-to-last cookie of the first sheet. I decided to bake that one without the extra spice as a control specimen. Because I'd mixed everything with the butter still warm, the dough was pretty soft, so I chilled the entire sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before baking.

The recipe doesn't give a baking temperature, but I took an educated guess of 350 degrees Farenheit, and only needed to bake an extra minute over the recommended 10.

Verdict:

While Griftah was right that these cookies are strong, they're not at all inedible. My batch came out with lovely consistency, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside (do NOT flatten before baking, leave them balled). They were not gritty at all, and the orange zest blended in perfectly smooth (I used a microplane on fresh mandarins; -- Griftah probably took the shortcut of using dried orange peel).

Flavor-wise, the control specimen without the extra roll in the spice blend felt better balanced to me, with the spices in the cookie still very much present, but not nearly as prominent as those with the extra roll. If you're not sure about the spice, try baking a few with the extra, and the rest without, and see where your taste lies. It's also entirely possible I had an unfavorable blend to roll them in, since the recipe doesn't specify the ratios.

Lok'nom-rosh!

---------------------------

Next day update: What a difference a few hours makes! Within about 3 or 4 hours of baking, the spices had mellowed out considerably, and today are almost downright subtle, providing some pleasant heat and complexity to the flavor without being anywhere near as overpowering. As such, knowing WHEN you will be serving these in relation to when you bake them has major impact. They also crisped up throughout, to a consistency similar to a gingersnap.

My recommendation:

If you plan to eat these cookies fresh within the first few hours of baking, only roll in the extra spice if you want the most intense flavor experience! Otherwise, skip the extra roll for a less intense/more balanced treat.

If you expect to be waiting at least 4 hours before serving, go ahead and roll in the extra spices. They will mellow out by the time you eat them, the longer the mellower.

---------------------------

EDIT: I just noticed, but I made an error in copying the recipe down to the card I went by while baking these, and condensed the 3 TABLESPOONS of cinnamon to only 3 TEASPOONS! Amusingly, according to one of the links by MrGiblets below, the German translation of the recipe ALSO calls for only 3 teaspoons, so either the English writers made a typo, or the German translators missed a joke. Either way, definitely REDUCE THE CINNAMON FROM 3 TBSP TO 3 TSP when making these!

Comment by Catarra

I baked these today with a little modification. I used 2 tbspn cinnamon instead of 3, that seemed like overkill. As for the spices that you're supposed to roll the cookies in, I left that completely off because I have 2 autistic kids that have issues with strong flavor and I (correctly) assumed that there would be more than enough spice already. I did chill the dough in the fridge before baking. I baked at 375 for roughly 11 min and took them out of the oven when they were still soft in the middle. They're honestly really good! The hint of orange and almond is a really nice balance to all the spice. They remind me of gingersnaps. My kids loved them and would have eaten all of them if allowed lol.

Comment by GeorgMaUlWurf

My gf made these for me and they are delicious. She saidthey are as easy as ever to make:
1) fluid stuff together
2) dry stuff together
3) all together

keep in mind they will harden after taking them out of the oven because of butter and sugar. so dont overbake em.

Comment by diannaortiz21

I wanted to see what reviews were for this recipe as I'm getting ready to make them today. I am noticing a lot of comments stating the cookies get crisp, like gingersnaps. I wanted to share a tip that I use any time I make cookies, unless they should be crisp. When storing your cookies, add a slice of bread on top. This will keep your cookies nice and soft/chewy.
Really excited to make these and see how they taste. I've never used cardamom and it doesn't smell like something I'd ever think to put in cookies. Can't wait to taste these for myself and see what my family thinks of them, too.
