Scandinavian Bishop's Pepper Cookies (Rovastinpipparkakut)
1 large egg
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter 
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl, beat the egg; add the sugar and syrup, mixing
well.
Add the butter and almonds and beat until well mixed. Sift the
flour with the soda and spices and add to the creamed mixture,
mixing until a stiff dough is formed. Chill at least 1 hour. Preheat
the oven to 375 degrees.  Cover cookie sheets with parchment or
baking paper. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into cookie
shapes and place on prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 7 to 10
minutes or until the cookies feel firm when touched. Makes 3 to 4
dozen, depending on the size of the cookie cutters used.
