Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 300 g plain flour
  • 100 g butter
  • 100 g sugar
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp mixed spices ((cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves))
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp bicarb of soda
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 200 g icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp boiling water

Instruction

  • To make the cookies, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
  • Sift the flour, add the bicarb of soda, spices, honey, lemon juice, melted butter and eggs beaten lightly.
  • Knead gently to get a dough that does not stick to the hands - add more flour if necessary.
  • Cover the dough with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
  • Make balls out of the dough the size of a walnut, and arrange them on a baking tray lined with non-stick paper - leave enough room between cookies as they double their volume.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch.
  • Leave to cool completely.
  • To make the icing, sift the icing sugar, add the boiling water and mix well to get a lump-free icing.
  • When the cookies have cooled, drizzle the icing over, and leave to dry completely.
