      Yield: 12 servings
 
      4 c  Unbleached all-purpose flour
      1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Ground cloves
    1/2 ts Ground ginger
    1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
      1 c  Powdered sugar
      2 ts Baking powder
      2    Eggs/extra large
      1 c  Honey
      2 tb Orange peel; chopped
      1 lg Egg; beaten with a little
           Water for glazing

      Sift the flour, spices, sugar, and baking powder together, blending
  well. Add the eggs, honey, and orange peel to make a soft dough. On a
  floured work surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into
  shapes with cookie cutters, and place on a lightly greased or non-stick
  cookie sheet, brushing each one with the egg wash glaze. Place 1/2 of an
  almond in the top center of each cookie and sprinkle with the sugar
  crystals. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven until done, about 15
  minutes.  Cool on wire racks and store in airtight tins.
