Ingredients:

Serving

3 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
2/3 cup finely chopped almonds (optional)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cloves
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tsp water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease several baking sheets.
Beat the eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved, then beat in lemon juice, almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, allspice, and cloves until thoroughly combined. Mix in flour to make a sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface, and knead the dough 1 to 2 minutes, adding more flour if needed, to make a smooth, workable dough. Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place the balls on the prepared baking sheets at least 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cookie comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from sheets immediately to cooling racks to prevent cookies from getting too hard.
Stir together confectioners' sugar and water to make a glaze, and drizzle each cookie while slightly warm with about 1/2 teaspoon, spreading it around the top of the cookie.
