Arabic Cardamom Shortbread

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I've looked at this recipe on about 5 sites. The cookies are called Arabic cardamom cookies. So why is the cardamom optional (& is also left out of the ingredient lists on 4 of the 5 sites)? Several sites say "cardamom or orange water or rose water all optional." I'm confused. I want to make these for an Arabic presentation & want them to turn out right. Thank you.
