How To make Pfeffernusse(Peppernuts)

2 c White granulated sugar
1 c Butter plus 1 cup lard
OR:
2 c Crisco
1 t Salt
4 Eggs, beaten slightly
1 c Buttermilk
3 ts Baking soda
1 t Anise oil
1 t Cinnamon
1/2 ts Cloves
1/3 ts Ginger

Boil the Karo syrup for 2 minutes, and then add the sugar, butter, and salt. Stir until sugar and shortening are melted, then cool. When cool, add remaining ingredients (except flour). Add flour in increments until dough is very stiff. Chill thoroughly (can even be frozen). Roll chilled dough into rolls about the width of a finger. Cut with a knife into small 'pillows'. Pat pillows flat and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees? ~- time is unknown so I'd have to guess maybe 8-10 minutes. This is an old recipe of my grandmothers and it doesn't^? specify).

Ingredients
6 Tbsp (90 mL) honey
6 Tbsp (75 g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)
¼ cup (50 g) packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 egg yolk

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the honey, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg and egg yolk. Sift the flour, baking soda, spices and salt over the sugar mixture and stir until evenly blended (the batter will be dense). Use a small ice cream scoop (#60 size), or 2 teaspoons to scoop the batter and then shape them into balls between the palms of your hands place them onto the prepared trays, leaving 2-inches (5 cm) between each. Bake for 14-16 minutes until the cookies are lightly browned. Cool the cookies on the tray and then roll them in icing sugar to coat them completely.
The cookies will keep up to 5 days in an airtight container.
