Almond Cookies
Yield: 12 servings
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Allspice, Ground
1/4 tsp. Cloves, Ground
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 1/4 cups Flour, Unbleached, Unsifted
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 cup Almonds, Ground
1 tsp. Lemon Rind, Grated
2 lg. Eggs |
3/4 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Honey
1/2 cup Milk
ALMOND GLAZE:
1 cup Confectioners' Sugar
1/2 tsp. Almond Extract
1 tsp. Rum
1 Tbsp. Water |
Stir together the spices, salt flour, and baking powder.
Stir in the almonds and lemon rind. In a separate bowl beat the eggs
and sugar until a ribbon is formed when the beater is removed. Stir
in the honey and milk.
Gradually stir in the flour mixture; beat until
smooth. Spread the batter in an 11 X 17 inch jelly roll pan that
is well greased and floured. Bake at 400 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes,
until the cake is done. While the cake is still warm, turn it out onto
a wire rack. To make the almond glaze, mix the confectioners' sugar,
almond extract, rum, and 1 to 2 T of water. Beat until glaze is smooth
and of the right consistency. Add more water to thin if necessary.
Spread the warm cake with the almond glaze. Cut cake into 1 X 2 1/2 inch
bars while still warm. Spice bars keep 6 to 8 weeks in a sealed container
if not glazed. Makes 4 dozen bars.
