List of Ingredients




4 c Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 ts Ground Cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground Cloves
1/2 ts Ground Ginger
1/2 ts Ground Nutmeg
1 c Powdered Sugar
2 ts Baking Powder
2 Extra Large Eggs
1 c Honey
2 tb Chopped Orange Peel
1 lg Egg; Beaten With A Little Water For Glazing
20 Blanched Almonds
Coarse Sugar Crystals


Recipe



Sift the flour, spices, sugar, & baking powder together, blending well. Add the eggs, honey, & the orange peel to make a soft dough.

On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters, and place on a lightly greased or non-stick cookie sheet, brushing each one with the egg-wash glaze.

Place 1/2 of an almond in the top center of each cookie and sprinkle with the sugar crystals.

Bake in a preheated 350 Degree F. oven until done, about 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks and store in airtight containers.
