This recipe represents my Scandinavian heritage. The blend of spices and hint of tangerine have made these cookies a favorite to serve with a mug of hot coffee. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup dark corn syrup |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon grated tangerine or orange peel |
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In a small saucepan, bring corn syrup to a boil; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Beat in egg and tangerine peel. Combine the flour, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 3 dozen.
