For a deeper mace flavor, lightly toast the ground mace in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for a minute or two before adding it to the flour mixture, being careful not to burn it. If you don't have orange zest on hand, lemon zest can be used as a substitute. The dough can be made ahead of time and chilled for up to 24 hours. Allow the dough to come to room temperature slightly before scooping and baking. Experiment with different types of honey to create subtle variations in flavor. Lavender honey or buckwheat honey would add a unique touch.

Jun 23, 2025I was a bit hesitant about the mace, but it really complements the honey beautifully. I added a pinch of cardamom for extra warmth. Will definitely make these again!

May 26, 2025Easy to follow recipe, and the cookies are delicious. I didn't have mace, so I used nutmeg instead. Still turned out great, but I'm curious to try it with mace next time.
