      Yield: 60 servings 
  
    1/4 c  Margarine                         1/2 ts Baking Soda 
    1/4 c  Honey                               1 ts Ground Cinnamon 
    1/4 c  Sugar                             1/2 ts Ground Nutmeg 
      2    Eggs                              1/4 ts Ground Cloves 
      3 c  Flour                             1/2 c  Unsweetened Apple Juice 
      2 ts Baking Powder                   
  
  Cream the margarine, honey, sugar and eggs together in a bowl until smooth 
  and fluffy.  Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.  Divide the dough 
  into thirds.  Flatten each one into a circle 1/2 inch thick.  Wrap each in 
  plastic wrap.  Refrigerate overnight until firm. 
   
  Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a lightly-floured 
  surface to 1/8 inch thick.  Cut out the dough with a star cookie cutter and 
  place on a lightly-oiled baking sheet.  Bake in a 375-degree oven for 8 to 
  10 minutes, or until lightly browned. 
   
  Note:  These Zimsterne have approximately three-quarters teaspoon of sugar 
  per serving.
