Rich Esbat Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 egg yolk
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup ground almonds
• large pinch of cinnamon
• large pinch of nutmeg
• a few drops of vanilla extract

Instructions:

Blend butter, honey, vanilla, and egg yolk. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the paste a little at a time. Chill, then roll out and cut out. Cook at 325º F for about 15 minutes.

Note: I translated this from its original British measurements into American standards, hopefully this will not cause problems for anyone. "Biscuits" in England are the same things as "cookies" in America. These are indeed quite rich and a bit bland (good for earthy Esbat food), but if you'd like them a little sweeter, roll them in confectioner's sugar before serving.
