Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp orange zest

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until softened. Beat in honey. Add egg yolk, orange peel and orange juice and mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well mixed. Cover and chill at least 3 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 325 degree F.
  4. Separate egg and slightly beat egg white. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in egg white and then in the nuts. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  5. Cut each cherry into 6-8 wedges. Place 4 or 5 wedges atop each ball so that it looks like a flower; press lightly. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Remove and cool on rack.
