Coarse Sugar Crystals Sift the flour, spices, sugar, and baking powder together, blending well. Add the eggs, honey, and orange peel to make a soft dough. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters, and place on a lightly greased or non-stick cookie sheet, brushing each one with the egg wash glaze. Place half of an almond in the top center of each cookie and sprinkle with the sugar crystals. Bake in a preheated 180ºC . oven until done, about 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks and store in airtight tins.
