I wanted to try a cookie recipe that used honey instead of sugar since it is a natural sweetener. I made a third of the recipe since it makes so many cookies. When I was done with the dough, it resembled a crumb topping. I added an extra half an egg and that worked out fine. They are really sweet, but the cookies spread out a lot in the oven & become a thin ugly mess. The icing on top made them way too sweet. The mixture of spices is great, and they smell delicious. They just weren't the kind of cookies that I would be proud to put on a plate and pass around to my friends (in the sense that they are not visually appealing and are way too sweet)

Very good. I made this exactly as written and wound up with 120 cookies. My kids like this better than chocolate chip cookies.
