List of Ingredients




3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1 egg

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons rum

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

3/4 teaspoon ground allspice



Recipe



In a large mixing bowl beat the butter or margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice; beat till combined. Beat in the egg, honey, and rum. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Divide dough in half. If necessary, cover and chill for 1 hour, or till dough can be shaped into rolls.


In a 9-inch pie plate, stir together 1/3 cup sugar and 3/4 teaspoon allspice. Shape each half of dough into an 8-inch roll; roll each in the sugar-allspice mixture to coat. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Chill for 2 hours, or till firm. Cover and reserve remaining sugar and spice mixture.


Cut the chilled dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices about 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with reserved sugar-allspice mixture. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or till edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned. Remove cookies and cool on a rack.
