Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Line a sheet pan with parchment. Combine flour, sugar, cardamom, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Cut cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ~2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in dried fruit and nuts. Stir in 3 tbsp water until the dough just comes together; don't overmix.

  4. Step 4

    Drop walnut-sized clumps onto the sheet pan, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly with your palm.

  5. Step 5

    Bake at 375°F until golden brown around the edges, 12–14 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack.

  6. Step 6

    Dust warm bites with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
