 Categories: Cookies, Desserts, Cyberealm, Kooknet
      Yield: 60 Cookies
 
    2/3 c  Molasses
  2 1/2 tb Honey
    1/2 c  Lard
    3/4 c  Sugar
      4 c  All purpose flour
      2 ts Cinnamon
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
      2 ea Eggs, lightly beaten
  1 1/3 c  Whole blanched almonds
      1 c  Diced candied lemon peel
      1 ea Egg yolk
 
  Combine molasses, honey, lard and sugar in a heavy sauce pan. Place
  over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture
  begins to foam and bubble. Remove from heat and let cool 15 minutes.
  
  In a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  Add whole eggs to molasses mixture; pour at once into flour mixture.
  Stir until a soft dough forms. Divide dough in half. Wrap each half
  separately in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours (preferably
  over night).
  
  Preheat the oven tp 400 degrees F.
  
  Roll out half piece of dough at a time on a heavily floured board to
  thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut into rectangles about 2x3 inches in
  size. Place on a greased baking sheet. Beat egg yolk with 2t water.
  Brush cookies with egg mixture. Decorate the tops of cookies with
  almonds and candied lemon peel. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, watching
  closely because these bake very quickly and will burn before you know
  it.
