Prep. Time:

Total Time:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 tbsp. heavy cream
3/4 cup sifted cake flour (not self rising flour)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup slivered blanched almonds
3 oz. candied orange peel, finely chopped
Chocolate Glaze (triple recipe)

Chocolate Glaze:
3 oz. semisweet chocolate pieces
3 tbsp. butter

Directions:

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:

Partially melt chocolate pieces in the top of a double boiler over hot (not simmering) water. Remove from heat and stir until chocolate is melted. Blend in butter. This will also glaze one 8-inch tubed cake. Triple the recipe for the cookies.

FOR THE COOKIES: Cream butter; add brown sugar gradually, creaming until fluffy. Add honey, corn syrup, and cream gradually, beating well after each addition.

Sift flour and salt together; add in thirds to creamed mixture, mixing until blended after each addition. Mix in almonds and candied peel.

Drop by level tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto greased and lightly floured cookie sheets; spread into 2 inch rounds.

Bake at 350 F. about 7 minutes. (Cookies should be delicately browned and about 3 inches in diameter with a slightly lacy appearance.)

Cool 2 to 3 minutes on cookie sheets. Carefully remove cookies to wire racks; turn flat side up and cool completely.

Evenly spread bottom of each cookie with about 1 1/2 teaspoons Chocolate Glaze. When chocolate is almost set, draw wavy lines through glaze. About 2 dozen cookies.

An Austrian cookie despite its Italian sounding name.
