1/2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
1 c. honey
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda, baking
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
4 1/2 c. flour

Sift dry ingredients together with 4 cups flour. Cream sugar, shortening, honey and eggs together; add flour mixture, then add nuts. Chill dough overnight. Take out small amount at a time and roll out on floured board. Cut with round cutter or animal shapes.

Bake in 350 degree oven until lightly brown. Watch carefully as they burn easily. Frost if desired. A mixture of 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour makes good for rolling out as it doesn't add too much flour to the dough.
