Honey Spice Cookies Recipes

MEDENJACI-CROATIAN HONEY SPICE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the butter, sugar and honey, stirring constantly, over low heat until the sugar and butter have melted completely. Set aside to cool (10 minutes).
• Lightly whisk the eggs. Mix and combine baking soda, spices, all-purpose, whole wheat and cake flour.
• Add the lightly beaten eggs, flour and spices to the melted honey, sugar and butter mixture. Mix and combine to obtain smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with foil and leave in a cool place for 1-3 days.
• Divide and roll the dough into long rolls 1.5 cm in diameter, cut them into smaller rolls. Shape each roll into a walnut sized ball.
• Place the dough balls, few centimetres apart from each other, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon sheet. Insert, only halfway, a quarter of the walnut kernel at the top of each cookie.
• Bake the cookies in the oven at 190°C for 10-12 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container.

HONEY & SPICE COOKIES

Steps:

• Rub the butter into the flour in a large bowl until you have fine crumbs. Stir in the beaten egg, our festive spice, golden caster sugar, honey and cream of tartar. Stir unil a soft dough forms, then wrap in cling film and chill for 20-30 mins.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roll out the dough, cut into festive shapes and bake for 10-12 mins on lined baking trays. Dip in melted dark chocolate, if you like.

HONEY & SPICE CRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together the brown sugar and shortening.
• Beat in the eggs and honey.
• Combine dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.
• Chill dough in refrigerator for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls and roll in white sugar. (Keep dough chilled between batches so it doesn't get too soft).
• Place 2-inches apart on a slightly greased (or parchment paper covered) baking sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass.
• Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool on pan for about 5 minutes then remove to cool completely. (I use parchment and just slide the parchment off the baking sheet onto the counter to cool).
