Honey Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 lb. honey

3 1/2 c. sifted AP flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. allspice

Preparation

In a saucepan, combine butter and honey and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool. Sift together flour, baking soda, and spices, then stir dry ingredients into honey mixture. Add enough flour to make a soft dough, approximately 1/2-1 c. Wrap in waxed paper and chill.

Preheat oven to 350. Roll out dough to a generous 1/8" and cut out with cookie cutter. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until slightly brown. Do not overbake–even when cool, cookies should be soft and chewy.
