Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter at room temperature
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Orange extract
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
- zest of one Orange
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Cardamom

Beat until well combined (about 20 seconds), scrape bowl, and beat for another 15 to 20 seconds. Sift together flour, cardamom, and baking powder. Add flour mixture 1 cup at a time to creamed butter mixture. Mix thoroughly after each addition. The dough will be stiff.
- Divide dough into 2 balls. Wrap 1 ball in plastic until ready to use. Divide remaining ball in half. Flour surface and roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Lightly flour dough as needed to prevent sticking. Flour cutters before cutting. Add dough scraps to other half of dough ball. Repeat the process of adding scraps to remaining dough portions.
