1 Cup Butter
1 egg yolk
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
