Directions

Stir together the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, soda, cloves and allspice.

In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg; add brown sugar and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy.

Stir in honey and molasses.

Add dry ingredients to molasses mixture; beat until the mixture is well combined.

Stir in almonds and fruits and peels.

Cover; chill for several hours.

On floured surface, roll dough into a 14” square.

Cut into 3½ x 2” rectangles.

Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 12 to 14 minutes or until done. Cool cookies about 1 minute; remove to wire rack. While cookies are warm, brush with the Lemon Glaze, if desired.
