Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tsp. Baking Powder
2 Extra Large Eggs
1 cup Honey
2 tbl. Chopped Orange Peel
1 large Egg -- Beaten with a little water for glazing
20 Blanched Almonds
Coarse Sugar Crystals


Preheat oven to 350° F.

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 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 tins.
