PFEFFERNUSSE
(Pepper Nuts)
(Yield: 4 dozen)

4 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon mace
1 teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon pepper
1¼ cups honey
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Water

In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, cloves, mace, allspice, and pepper; set aside.

In a small saucepan, heat honey and butter until butter melts; pour into a large bowl.  Cool to room temperature.  Stir in flour mixture until dough forms.  Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Spray cookie sheets with non-stick vegetable spray.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls.  Place, 1-inch apart, on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 15 minutes.  Remove from cookie sheets; cool completely on a wire rack.

In a medium bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and enough water to make a thin glaze.  Dip cooked cookies into glaze; place on a wire rack to dry.
