Ingredients

    1 cup rye flour
    1 cup spelt flour
    1 tbsp psyllium husk
    1 tsp cardamom
    ½ tsp salt
    ½ cup cream cheese, room temperature
    ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
    ½ cup sugar, sifted
    1 tsp vanilla
    3-4 tbsp water
    large grain sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, psyllium, cardamom and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, butter and sugar.
Beat in vanilla until well blended, then add flour mixture and combine, adding just enough water to make a cohesive (relatively stiff) dough.
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
Heat the oven to 350F and line cookie sheets with parchment.
Roll the dough out to about 1/4" thick, and cut into shapes.
Sprinkle each cookie with sugar.
Bake for 8-9 minutes, until set and slightly golden at the edges.
Cool on the sheets.
