Como fazer Nurnberger

Heat 1 cup of honey to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon.
In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cooled honey mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in ½ cup chopped candied citron and ½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds.
Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten slightly with your hand or a fork.
Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
Press a whole almond half into the top of each cookie and a small candied cherry slice into the center (optional).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
While the cookies are still warm, brush them with a glaze (see instructions below).
**Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of warm water or lemon juice until smooth. Add more water or lemon juice as needed to reach desired consistency.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container. Allow them to mellow for a few days for the flavors to deepen.
