Neither the sisters' cookies nor the various online recipes I've found are entirely faithful to Hildegard's recipe, which is much more spare. But it's a nice reminder of an amazing woman nonetheless.
2/24: hildegard's cookies (kind of)
Hildegard von Bingen wrote a basic recipe for a spice cookie, and it's been adapted into a contemporary recipe by the Benedictine sisters at the Immaculate Conception Monastery. We ordered some, and they are tasty. I may even try making my own, using an online recipe.
