60 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Margarine
¼ cup Honey
¼ cup Sugar
2 Eggs
3 cups Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
½ cup Unsweetened Apple Juice

Directions

Cream the margarine, honey, sugar and eggs together in a bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Divide the dough into thirds. Flatten each one into a circle ½ inch thick. Wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight until firm.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a lightly-floured surface to ⅛ inch thick. Cut out the dough with a star cookie cutter and place on a lightly-oiled baking sheet. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Note: These Zimsterne have approximately three-quarters teaspoon of sugar per serving.
