  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp powdered clove
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/2-1 tsp cardamom seed, freshly ground (hulled if in the pod)

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 375.
  2. Cream shortening and sugar.
  3. Add honey, vanilla and egg, beat until lighter in color.
  4. Sift flour, salt, soda, and spices.
  5. Add dry to the shortening mixture blending well.
  6. Form into balls one inch across.
  7. Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 9 minutes. I use a dark baking sheet and that helps them keep their shape better.
