    Title: Gengerbread Cookies
    Categories: Cookies
    Yield: 1 Batch

    2 1/2 c Flour
    1/2 c Sugar
    1 c Honey
    1 c Candied peel (2 oranges + 1
    -lemon); roughly chopped
    -****

    Combine flour, sugar, and honey in a large mixing bowl, using a
    spatula or (as I did) your hands. Add the peel and make sure it is
    evenly distributed through the mixture. The dough will be very
    crumbly.

    Using a scoop or soup spoon, take about 1-1/2 tb of dough at a time
    and squeeze/pat it into a flattened ball. Bake cookies at 350°F for
    15-18 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant.

    **** Candied peel is an ingredient we run into frequently in these
    early modern recipes. As we've discussed with some readers, candied
    peel is readily available in British supermarkets but not in most
    American ones, so we sometimes end up substituting zest to
    approximate the taste (if not texture) of the citrus peel. For the
    gingerbread, however, I wanted to see how the peel would work with
    the ginger and also thought the sticky peel might help these crumbly
    cookies hold together, so I made my own using this recipe.
