Refrigerated Spice Cookies

It's been quite a few years since one of the readers of our free Amazing Cookies newsletter sent in the recipe I'm going to share with you today.

But even though a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since I first tried this recipe, it's as good as ever.

Try it and see if you don't agree! :)

Bielka's Refrigerated Spice Cookies

1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light molasses
2 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 tsp grated orange peel
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp baking soda
Vegetable cooking spray

In a small pot over medium heat, combine honey, butter, and molasses and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for three minutes.

While mixture is cooling, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in honey mixture until well combined.

Divide dough into four equal pieces and roll each piece into a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate two or three hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Lightly flour work surface. Roll each log into a thin dough about 1/8" thick. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer to baking sheet and bake for five minutes or until firm. Cool on wire cooling racks.

Makes 4 dozen delicious cookies.
