These are good & chewy & VERY Sweet!

1 quart Honey
2 c sugar
1 lb pecans
1/2 lb citron
2 T cinnamon
2 t ground cloves
2 t ground allspice
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 c brandy
juice & peel of 1 lemon, coarsley grated
7 c all purpose flour

In large pot, boil honey & sugar, until sugar is dissolved. Measure
the rest of the ingredients and mix into the honey sugar mixture.
Refrigerate for 3 days.

Divide dough into thirds. With floured hands, press onto greased
cookie sheet to 1/4" thick. Press to whithin 1" of edge of sheet.
Bake on middle rack of preheated 350! oven for 20-22 minutes or
until edges begin to brown and center springs back from light tough.

Upon removing, invert onto a cutting board, and cut in 1" x 2" strips.
Drizzle glaze over cookies.

For glaze, I combine 2 c powdered sugar with enough milk to make
it of drizzling consistency (about 4-6 T) and a dash of lemon,
orange or almond extract, or all three if I'm in the mood for
flavor!
