Ingredients:  
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
2/3 cup finely chopped almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground allspice

3 cups flour
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tsp water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300º
Grease several baking sheets

Beat the eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved, then beat in lemon juice, almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, allspice, and cloves until thoroughly combined. Mix in flour to make a sticky dough.

Turn the dough out onto a well floured work surface and knead the dough 1 to 2 minutes, adding more flour if needed, to make a smooth, workable dough. Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into ball about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place the balls on the prepared baking sheets at least 1 inch apart.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cookie comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
Remove from sheets immediately to prevent cookies from getting too hard.

Stir together confectioners sugar and water to make a glaze and drizzle each cookie while slightly warm with about 1/2 tsp, spreading it around the top of the cookie.
