Soft Honey Cookies

This old-fashioned cookie has a subtle honey-cinnamon flavor and a tender texture. It's been a favorite in my family for years and now it can be one at your house, too. —Rochelle Friedman, Brooklyn, New York

    Don't flatten down like in picture. They stay in lumps. Not a recipe I would try again. Thankfully not a lot of ingredients were wasted. Not much taste.

    Not sure why, but mine turned out pretty awful. They tasted too sugary or something.

    I left the do dough in the fridge over night, then baked them. They came out fluffy and light.

    By the way, when I doubled the recipe and got 46 1T sized cookies they were 52.5 cal each.

    These were great! I doubled the recipe because I saw how it only made 16 cookies, and I got 46 cookies(using a 1T sized cookie scoop to make them). The dough was really sticky, but that isn't a problem. The cookies were perfectly sweet, and you could taste the cinnamon and honey. They were kinda dense, but not crispy, which in my opinion is perfect.

    I was looking for waysto use our own honey and this is an excellent one. It makes a small batch which is excellent for our family of 2.
