Put the water and the sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring frequently. Add the butter. Stir until the butter is melted. Reduce heat as necessary so that the mixture does not boil over. Stir in the spices. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with baking parchment (or thoroughly grease). When the syrup is cool, pour it into a mixing bowl. Add flour one cup at a time, stirring until each is fully combined before adding the next one. Shape cookies of about 1 tb of dough and place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes. The bottoms should be golden brown and the tops will still be light. Allow to cool before eating. Recipe by Marissa Nicosia Recipe FROM: MMMMM
