Your recipe for the day: Cardamom sweet rolls

 
Cardamom is a favorite in the L.A. Times Test Kitchen, which favors using this holiday spice whenever you'd use cinnamon. These rolls have a double dose of its sweet, aromatic, magical flavor, both in the dough and in the topping. They would be nice to serve for company come the holidays. It's your recipe of the day: Cardamom sweet rolls.
