Cardamom Tea Cookies

1 cup butter
1 egg yolk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar

Allow butter and egg yolk to stand at room temp for 30 mins.In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 secs. Add 2/3 cup sugar; beat about 5 mins or until well-combined and very fluffy, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add egg yolk, cardamom, baking soda and salt. Beat until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can; stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Cover and chill dough about 1 hr or until easy to handle.Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 10 mins or until edges are just set and bottoms are very lightly browned. Let cookies cool on sheets for 1 min. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely. Gently dip cookies in 1/2 cup extra-fine sugar, turning to coat all sides.

Makes about 44 cookies.
