1/2 cup light molasses
2 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger

In a small pot over medium heat, combine honey, butter, molasses and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes. While mixture is cooling, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in honey mixture until well combined.

Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 or 3 hours or

sheet with cooking spray and set aside.

Lightly flour work surface. Roll each log into a thin dough about 1/8"
