Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter, heated then cooled
1/8 cup milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking powder
For topping
about 1/8 cup milk
about 1 tablespoon sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease a baking sheet with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Sift the flour with the baking powder.
Combine milk, egg, butter and honey. Blend well.
Combine with wet ingredients with dry ones.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 of an inch thick.
Using cookie cutters cut out diamonds, squares, triangles or rounds.
Place the cookies on the baking sheet, nicely spaced apart as they will increase in volume.
Brush the cookies with milk.
Sprinkle a touch of sugar.
Bake until they are golden brown -- about 10 to 12 minutes.
Cool.
Notes
These cookies are very easy to do but they don't have much of a flavor, actually they don't have any flavor. For those who don't like cookies loaded with vanilla and other such flavorings this might be a recipe worth trying. Comments and photo: Mary Melfi. |
