This seasonal cookie is a spin on my personal favorite, the brown sugar date shortbread. But this time, we’re spicing it up with ample cardamom and a touch of sumac for funsies. Swap the dates for dried pineapple that I happen to soak in pineapple juice (for that extra 💥), and you have yourself a non-stop flight to Flavor Town™. Order a variety pack and treat yourself to a fruity shortbread party before the summer ends.
