Lori--I have a book called "Fabulous Feasts: Medieval Cookery and
Ceremony," by Madeleine Pelner Cosman. It has lots of recipes in it, as
well as lots of other information. In case you can't find it, here's a
short recipe for a kind of cookie, called "Circletes":
Ingredients:
1 cup butter 3/4 tsp. crushed cardoman
2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup ground almonds
1 beaten egg 1 cup currants
2 and 1/2 cups flour Butter for greasing cookie sheets
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
Method:
In one bowl, cream butter. Blend in sugar, beating until frothy
Whip in the beaten egg
In another bowl, stir lemon peel, cardamon, almonds, and currants into the
flour
Mix the dry mixture into the sweetened butter/egg mixture
Chill dough for at least 1 hour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit
Using well-floured fingers, shape dough into small balls (1 inch across)
and place them 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets
Bake 7-10 minutes until light golden brown. Cool on racks.
