Directions:

Beat sugar and eggs at medium speed of a mixer until thick and pale (about
5 minutes). Add the honey; beat at medium speed 2 minutes or until
well-blended.

Place 1 cup flour and citron in food processor, and process until the
citron is finely chopped. Spoon citron mixture into a large bowl; add
remaining 4 cups flour, baking soda, and next 4 ingredients, stirring well.
Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, stirring until well-blended
(the dough will be stiff). Cover and chill 8 hours.

Divide the dough in half; wrap half of the dough in plastic wrap, and
chill. Roll remaining half to 1/4-inch thickness on a well-floured surface.
Using a floured mold with 2-inch square imprints, press mold firmly into
dough. Remove mold; cut cookie squares apart, and place on baking sheets
coated with cooking spray.

Cover with a towel, and let stand in a cool, dry place 12 hours or
overnight to dry.

Bake cookies at 300 degrees for 13 minutes; let cool on wire racks. Repeat
procedure with the remaining dough. Yield: about 90 cookies (serving size:
1 cookie).
