1. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, pepper, aniseed, cardamom and salt. Set aside.
2. Cut the dough into the desired shapes and place on the prepared cookie sheet about 1-inch apart. Freeze the unbaked cookies for at least 1 hour before baking.
3. If using a springerle mold, brush the mold or stamp with a light coating of flour. Lightly sprinkle flour over the top of the rolled out cookie dough. The thickness of the dough will all depend on the style of mold you are using and how deep the impression needs to be. To experiment, use about ¼th of the dough disc to start until you determine how thick it needs to be. The cookies are crunchy so you want them thick enough to hold the design but not so thick you can’t bite them easily. Press the mold firmly and evenly into the dough, then remove. Cut around the design with a knife or pastry wheel. Transfer the cookies to the prepared pan and freeze for at least 30 minutes (best frozen longer) to help retain their intricate design while baking.
4. To ice the cut out cookies, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Add more sugar or milk until you reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the cookies. Allow to set for several hours or until the icing is firm.
