Shape and bake the cookies
- Transfer dough to a floured surface. Roll out the dough and cut into circles. I make 1.5 – 2 inch circles.
- Bake until the cookies are golden brown. Cool completely.
Add the filling
- Spread jam on one of the cookies, then cover with another cookie, like making a sandwich. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or dip in a powdered sugar glaze.
Tips for success
- Baking time can be different depending on the size of the cookie. If the cookie is small, baking time will be decrease. If the cookie is large baking time will increase.
- Make sure you honey is runny. It’s a lot easier to mix into the dough. If your honey isn’t runny, microwave it for a few seconds.
Store these honey cookies covered at room temperature for up to one week.
ENJOY!
