<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Springtime is party time! Easter, Mother’s Day, graduations and spring cocktail parties are all good reasons to bake. Why not try making these Lemon-Thyme Cookies to kick off your spring baking season? We first experienced these delicate delights while on a site visit in Napa Valley. After our first bite, we knew we had to find the recipe. The subtle sweetness of these cookies combined with a hint of thyme is deliciously unexpected and the cardamom had us guessing what flavor was making them taste so special. We are sure they will become one of your go-to springtime treats.</span></h3>

<span style="color: #000000;">Preheat oven to 350. </span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Beat the butter in a medium mixing bowl on med/high speed for 30 seconds. </span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar until combined. </span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Beat in thyme, lemon peel, lemon juice, and cardamom plus as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. </span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Knead until smooth; form mixture into a ball.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Divide dough into 3 equal portions. </span>
<span style="color: #000000;">On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 6x4 1/2-inch rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick.)</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Cut dough into 1 1/2-inch squares with a scalloped-edge pastry wheel. </span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Sprinkle cutouts with coarse sugar. </span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Place on ungreased cookie sheets.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are just lightly brown. </span>
