Steps:
- Boil honey, sugar and butter together for five minutes; cool.
- Beat egg and add to water.
- Sift dry ingredients together.
- Add sifted dry ingredients to honey mixture alternatively with egg/water mixture.
- Add nuts and citron last.
- Cover and chill at least overnight.
- If the dough is allowed to ripen in the refrigerator for several days before rolling out, the flavor and texture of the cookies are improved.
- Roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut with fancy cookie cutters.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 15 or 20 minutes, depending on your oven (taking care not to scorch).
- Ice with colored icing or a sugar glaze.
- To make glaze, mix powdered sugar and water together to make it the consistency of thin cream.
