Quantity Ingredient
4 cups Unbleached All-Purpose
Flour
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ground Cloves
½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 Extra Large Eggs

Directions

Sift the flour, spices, sugar, and baking powder together, blending well. Add the eggs, honey, and orange peel to make a soft dough. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to about ½-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 ½ 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 tins.
