| 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. | 2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. | 3. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and baking soda. | 4. Combine honey, sugar and water in a small saucepan. | 5. Place over low heat until the honey just melts- do not let it boil. | 6. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the dough hook. | 7. Let cool slightly. | 8. Add the sifted flour mixture, the almonds, orange peel and lemon zest. | 9. Blend until the mixture comes together in a heavy, sticky dough, adding a spoonful or two of water if needed. | 10. (The mixing can be done by hand, but it's labor intensive) Resist the urge to add more water to make the dough easier to handle; it would impair the texture of the finished cookies. | 11. Spread the dough about 1/2 to 1 inch thick on the baking sheets, forming 3 rectangles, each about 8 x 9 inches. | 12. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the tops turn a medium brown. | 13. When the dough rectangles have baked, remove pans to a rack and immediately brush the tops with glaze. | 14. Let cool for 10 minutes. | 15. Cut into 1 x 3-inch bars or into diamond shapes. | 16. Transfer to racks to cool completely. | 17. Ice with a simple sugar glaze. | 18. Store in airtight containers, placing wax paper between layers. | 19. Let rest at least 1 week, preferably longer. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
