Cut into small circles these cookies are peppery and nut shaped and a family favorite. Fashioning a tool to get the perfect shape seems to be a challenge. My husbands great grandmother used a thimble to cut each out and a toothpick to get the cookie dough out of the thimble. His grandfather cut down a metal funnel. I melted a plastic apple cutter and that lasted 16 years but broke this year on. Y first batch. My husband's sister our down a plastic funnel and that is what I plan to try this week.
Ingredients:
Melt together
2 cups kyro syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
Stir together
6-7 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in a little cold water
Mix all together and store in a large Tupperware for a weak
Cut the cookies and bake at 375 for about 15 minutes... They should be they bear brown but not burned. The cookies above are darker than they should be.
Wait to cool ...that's when they harden and crisp up.
