Directions:
Whisk the flour, cardamom, and salt in a bowl.
Put the butter and sugar in a food processor, and process until smooth.
Pulse in the egg, vanilla, and lemon zest until combined.
Add the flour mixture; process to make a soft buttery dough.
Divide the dough in half; place them onto 2 (12-inch long) sheets of plastic wrap. Using the plastic, shape the dough into rough logs. Refrigerate the dough logs for 30 minutes.
Shape into uniform logs, 8-inches long by 2-inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Scatter either the sanding sugars or the toasted nuts on a work surface and roll the logs until they're completely coated. Cut the logs into 1/4-inch thick cookies.
Space them about 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake them until they're golden around the edges, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool the cookies on the pan on wire racks.
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
