Eggless Cardamom Cookies

Day 3, Blogging Marathon, i chose to bake Cardamom cookies from Mireille Roc's Gourmet Global. I was supposed to do this post for last week's Blog Hop Wednesday,started by Radhika of Tickling palates but due to time and other commitments i couldn't post that time.  The Original Recipe has Egg and Butter in it, i haven't used eggs and replaced butter with Crisco Shortenning,  Recently saw Julie and Julia, Oh my i m a BIGGGGG FANNNNNN of Meryl Streep!!!! The Movie's Influence, i buttering a lot!!!!! :) A Week full of Baked Goodies, and already 2 first bakes had butter, hubby darling gave me a look, when i said this too has butter, so had to switch to Crisco!!! Nevertheless, end result doesn't make you feel for that!!! Got 2 dozen Crispy and Cardamom flavored Cookies, half a dozen vanished straight out of the Oven.
