Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

I agree with HookedOnTravel that the sugar is excessive. Also, not good as an antidepressant as Potatoes Not Prozac would point out.
I'm not sure how hildegard would have had access to sugar in this quantitiy in the 1100's, but these sound like delicious cookies nonetheless! I'll have to do some research on Hildegard.
Hildegard's recipe:"Take some nutmeg and an equal weight of cinnamon and a bit of cloves, and pulverise them. Then make small cakes with this and fine whole wheat flour and water."

No baking powder, sugar, eggs or butter.

As you can see, the claim that these are her cookies is bogus.
