Recipe Introduction


These dense, spice-laden cookies are a Christmas tradition in the U.S. and many northern European countries, but, as fans of gingerbread-type flavor combinations might tell you, they're welcome to make an appearance anytime between the fall and spring equinoxes.



List of Ingredients




4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/ 3 cups honey
2 T unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 T water


Recipe



In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, mace and pepper; set aside.

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt honey and butter. Cool to lukewarm, then beat in eggs; gradually stir in flour mixture. Refrigerate dough for 1/2 hour.

After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.

Mix together powdered sugar, vanilla and up to full quantity of water as needed to form a thin glaze. Using small tongs or a slotted spoon, dip the cookies in the glaze and place on wire rack to dry. Yields: 36 cookies
