1 c. white sugar
1 stick butter
1 c. dark corn syrup
1/2 c. whipping cream
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cardamom
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. mace
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. anise
1/2 tsp. baking soda
5 c. flour

Heat first 4 ingredients to boiling point. Cool. Mix cooled liquid mixture with sifted dry ingredients. This makes a stiff dough. Roll out to approximately 1/4 inch thick. Cut into small 1x1 inch squares. Put on greased baking sheet and bake 8 to 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool and store in airtight container. Flavor improves if aged several days.
