Yield Makes about 10 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 preparedBasic Butter Cookie Dough at room temperature
3 tablespoons honey or molasses
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons anise seeds, crushed lightly
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
For icing
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In bowl of a standing electric mixer beat together dough, honey or molasses, and spices until just combined well. Halve dough and on sheets of wax paper form each half into a 12-inch log. Chill logs, wrapped in wax paper, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • With a sharp knife cut logs into generous 1/8-inch slices and arrange 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until pale golden, about 12 minutes, and cool on racks.
  • Make icing:
  • In a small bowl whisk together icing ingredients and transfer to a sealable plastic bag. With scissors cut an 1/8-inch opening in one corner of bag.
  • Arrange cookies as close together as possible on sheets of wax paper and drizzle with icing. Let icing dry completely. Cookies may be stored between layers of wax paper in airtight containers up to 6 weeks frozen.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These cookies were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a little bit lighter and fluffier.
