1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt |
1 teaspoon ground allspice |
1 teaspoon mace |

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F and line 2 sheet pans with bakers's paper.
2. In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, ground allspice, mace, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and fresh grated nutmeg.

4. Add dry ingredients in small amounts until flour has been incorporated. Mix until batter is smooth.
5. Roll cookie dough into a ball, place dough in a bowl, cover with plastic and chill for 1 hour.
6. Use a 2-ounce scoop for uniform size. Roll dough in the palm of your hand to form a ball. Place on sheet pans about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten cookies. Place walnut pieces on cookies and dust with a little fine sugar.
7. Bake cookies at 350 F for 8-10 minutes.
8. Chef's Note: You can substitute Splenda Brown Sugar for the brown sugar.
