Preparation
Grind any whole spices using a Pestle and Mortar from
Hull One World Shop.
Stir the honey with sugar, spices and margarine until well mixed.
Whip the cream till frothy and stir into the batter, a little at a time.
Dissolve the baking soda in a little water and add together with part of the flour.
Cover the dough which should be quite firm, let stand until the following day.
Cooking
Knead the dough, adding the remaining flour.
Roll out a small part and bake a test cookie in a 175 to 200 C oven.
If the cookie spreads, add a little more flour to the dough.
Roll out the dough and cut with cookie cutters into hearts, stars, pigs etc.
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet after baking.
The cookies may be decorated with white frosting made of sifted powdered
(FAIRTRADE) caster sugar stirred with egg white and a few drops of
FAIRTRADE lemon juice to a thick smooth paste.
