Kruidnoten or Pepernoten

Start with 1.5 cups of flour in the mixer.

Add 0.5 cups of brown sugar and 0.5 cups of ground almonds to the dry ingredients.

Mix in 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon baking powder.

In a separate bowl, combine 0.5 cups of liquid honey, 1 tablespoon of water, and 2 tablespoons of molasses.

Add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground cloves, 0.5 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 0.5 teaspoon of allspice to the honey mixture and stir well.

Add the honey mixture and 1 egg to the dry ingredients in the mixer.

Mix until the dough comes together, adding more flour if necessary (up to 2 cups total).

Flour the counter and roll the dough into small balls, about 0.75 inches thick.

Slice the rolled dough into small cookies, about 0.5 inches in size.

Place cookies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, about 88 cookies total.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10-12 minutes until crunchy.
