Title: Gengerbread Cookies
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 Batch
2 1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Sugar
1 c Honey
1 c Candied peel (2 oranges + 1
-lemon); roughly chopped
-****
Combine flour, sugar, and honey in a large mixing bowl, using a
spatula or (as I did) your hands. Add the peel and make sure it is
evenly distributed through the mixture. The dough will be very
crumbly.
Using a scoop or soup spoon, take about 1-1/2 tb of dough at a time
and squeeze/pat it into a flattened ball. Bake cookies at 350°F for
15-18 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant.
**** Candied peel is an ingredient we run into frequently in these
early modern recipes. As we've discussed with some readers, candied
peel is readily available in British supermarkets but not in most
American ones, so we sometimes end up substituting zest to
approximate the taste (if not texture) of the citrus peel. For the
gingerbread, however, I wanted to see how the peel would work with
the ginger and also thought the sticky peel might help these crumbly
cookies hold together, so I made my own using this recipe.
