- Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Mix flour, brown sugar, ground coffee, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter; using on/off turns, process until moist clumps begin to form. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough equally between two 9-inch- diameter tart pans with removable bottom. Press dough firmly and evenly onto bottom of each tart pan.

Cool shortbread in pans 5 minutes. Remove pan sides. Cut warm shortbread in each pan into 12 wedges. Cool completely.
- Mix powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons water, and vanilla in small bowl, adding more water by 1/4 teaspoonfuls, if necessary, for spreadable glaze. Using offset spatula, spread glaze thinly over cookies, leaving 1/2- inch border at edges. Sprinkle crystallized ginger over. Let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour.
