Step:

  1. Mix and boil honey and molasses. Allow it to cool though

  2. Stir in the brown sugar, egg, lemon juice,and lemon rind.

  3. Shift together and stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg.

  4. Mix in the candied fruit and nuts.

  5. Chill the dough overnight.

  6. Roll out in small batches. (Tip: use parchment paper instead of flour. It is easy to make the dough too floury.) Roll to 1/4 inch thick.

  7. Cut the dough with a glass or a simple cookie (stick to simple shapes like circles or squares, the longer you work with the dough the stickier it gets.)

  8. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet.

  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
