Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 sticks of butter
  • 2 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Combine the above ingredients into a soft dough.

  2. It might be easiest to work on a marble slab and with a cold bowl, if available.

  3. Take a bit of dough and press into a small circle.

  4. Top with a tiny dollop of almond paste.

  5. Brush with lightly beaten egg white and top with another bit of dough, so that you have a small round cookie with a raised lump in the middle.

  6. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes, until done.
