Hello friends! All end of summer Mondays should begin with cookies! Chocolate dipped cookies to be exact! You were thinking the same thing weren’t you? I knew I liked you guys!

Mondays are tough enough as it is, but Mondays at the end of summer…UGH! Just the thought of having to get back into the swing of things after relaxing and having fun all summer is rough. So to help us through this Monday, I thought I would treat us to some delicious Pistachio Chocolate Dipped Cardamom Spice Cookies. I know, the title’s a mouthful isn’t it? But it’s a delicious mouthful! So are you in? Good, because believe me I spent my weekend making these and eating them, and now I know I can face anything this Monday morning can throw at me!Pistachio-Chocolate-Dipped-Cardamon-Spice-Cookies.jpg

I love the taste of the cardamom in these cookies. If you’ve never tried cardamom, it’s a common ingredient in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking and is also used quite often in baking in Sweden and Finland. It’s a member of the ginger family and it’s a slightly warm, sweet spice with hints of citrus and floral.Pistachio-Chocolate-Dipped-Cardamon-Spice-Cookies.jpg

I decided to dip the cookies in chocolate and sprinkle them with some finely chopped pistachio for some added richness which proved to be dee-lish! This recipe makes about six dozen two-inch cut out cookies. I chocolate dipped some and left some plain. There’s no need to chill the dough either, so you can just whip it up and start rolling and cutting away.

So bring it on Monday! We’re not scared! We’ve got back up! Have a great week guys!

    Mary Ann! I’ve missed you and your amazing, creative recipes! I so love cardamom and by looking at these pictures, I feel like I can already taste them in my mouth! In my opinion, this is a GREAT Monday recipe! (Boo for end of summer though, but yay for fall leaves!).

    I could not agree more- ALL Mondays need to start with cookies (and end with a fun cocktail). But I’m not willing to accept the end of summer… I’m saying it’s summer until it snows. I may be delusional, but I don’t care, I’m staying in my summer bubble- WITH these cookies… because they look like they will make everything A-Ok! I LOVE that you used cardamom in these little lovelies! And with the chocolate coating AND pistachios? OH.MY.GAWD. So much scrumptiousness is happening here! These are totally dangerous, Mary Ann! But what’s life without a little delicious danger? My skinny jeans can wait. :) Pinned! Cheers, girlfriend- to a beautiful week!

      I’ll be delusional with you Chey, because I want it to be summer forever! I think people think I’m a little cooky anyway when I’m still wearing my flip flops around Halloween!! But I don’t care either!! Enjoy your week!

    No doubt Monday’s call for cookies! I think these are perfect and would smooth out my Monday or any day just fine. I’ve not baked much with cardamom but have tasted it and know its just fabulous. I need to give it a go. Love the added touch of chocolate and pistachios to these flavorful morsels! Delicious and gorgeous, Mary Ann! Thank you for this! :D
