• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup molasses
•  
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
•  
• 2 3/4 cup sifted flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ground cloves
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 cup diced citron

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 Tbsp. warm water
• 1 tsp. corn syrup
• 1 Tbsp. rum

Mix the honey and molasses and bring to a boil. Then allow to cool completely. Meanwhile, mix together the brown sugar, egg, lemon juice and rind. Sift the flour, baking soda, and spices together and then add the citron to the dry ingredients. Mix the brown sugar mixture with the dry ingredients and then slowly stir in the honey and molasses. Stir thoroughly by hand. Dough will be very thick. Chill the dough for at least 8 hours.

Remove just enough dough to roll out. Roll the dough into about 1/4 inch thickness and then cut into cookies using whatever shape you desire. Sprinkle flour to keep dough from sticking to cookie cutter or surface and grease cookie sheet with butter or oil unless it is non-stick. Lay cookies out on sheet about 1 inch apart. Cook at 400 degrees for 10 to 13 minutes or until no imprint remains upon the cookies when lightly touched.

Mix together the powdered sugar with warm water, corn syrup and rum to taste. Spiced rum adds a nice flavor.

Remove cookies from pan immediately when ready and glaze while they are still warm by drizzling the glaze over each cookie.

Cookies can be consumed immediately before hardening, or placed in a container with apple slices (not touching the cookies themselves, separated by wax paper) for mellowing.
