Sedgemoor Biscuits

I found this recipe in several different places, and I had to change it due to lack for some ingredients!
This is an old English recipe. It sounded yummy!  It called for raisins soaked in brandy, but I did not have that either, so I used crasins.

Sedgemoor Biscuits

 3/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

2/3 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

GLAZE:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 1/2 tablespoons milk

1/4 teaspoon lemon extract

Mix all ingredients until a smooth, thin-ish glaze is made

Preheat oven to 400. 

In a large bowl, combine flours, (I did not have any whole wheat flour, I missed out on some of the chewy-ness because I just used all pastry flour)  cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, salt and sugar. 

Cut in butter with a pastry blender or your fingers till it forms crumbs. 

Blend in eggs, vanilla and cranberries till it forms a dough

Roll out onto a lightly floured board. Cut out with a two inch cookie cutter and place on a parchment covered cookie sheet

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. 

Dip warm cookies in glaze and let dry on cooling rack.
