Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl, then add the eggs and mix to combine. Add the vanilla extract and lingonberry jam and beat to combine.

In a bowl, sift together the salt, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and flour. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in two additions, scraping the bowl after each addition. Fold in the apples and pearl sugar.

Place tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned.
