We like spicy foods in our home so I tried using habanero infused honey and they were a BIG hit. I also took some to my high school students and now they pester the daylights out of me for them

I doubled the honey and the cookies were still a bit dry. Also dropped the time to about 8 min, they’re overcooked at 10. Added pecans. Needed some time in the fridge to not only roll better, but also to maintain a nicer baking color. Interesting flavor, may try this again!

I added a little extra honey add also a little cinnamon ,when they were cold I chopped the top off with a sharp knife and added a dollopof vanilla butter cream scrummy and looked lovely

These were great. I was skeptical at first, but I followed the suggestions and put in twice the amount of honey (3/4 cup, and baked it for the full 15 minutes until the edges were just slightly brown. I also used butter because I don’t have any margarine. I have no idea why the recipe demands that you freeze it for two hours, a half hour in the freezer would do the trick.They’re snickerdoodle-y in texture, and they taste great. Like honey. Make them, and try not to eat all of them at once.

As a sidenote, I halved the recipe and that made 40 cookies.

Definitely agree with everyone else on the post. I think these cookies are scrumptious and easy to make. They are chewy and the taste of honey truly brings the best out of these little guys. I think my boyfriend and roommates will really enjoy the simplicity and cuteness of these honey cookies!
Emma Johnson
These were nice and soft and chewy. Definetly need a glass of milk with them though. Don’t skimp on the honey but I did use half the butter they called for and they turned out just fine!

I made these for my son’s first grade class. They had a “honey tasting” and his teacher knows I love to bake, so she asked me to bake something with lots of honey. I read the review which said they’d doubled the amount of honey, but since I was baking for kids, I was afraid to go that far, so I used 10 tblsp of honey. I think I would have been ok with 12 tblsp. With 10 tblsp, I could taste the honey, but I think a little more would have been even better. They were incredibly moist, and were so very yummy! They were a hit wth the kids, the teacher, and the other parents. I had made two batches of dough, and took the rest of the cookies to church a couple of days later. They went so fast it was funny!

I make these cookies all of the time. They stay moist and chewy and the honey gives them such a great flavor. I live at a high altitude and have a hard time baking. These cookies always turn out great. I don’t chill the batter, they just go straight into the oven.

The cookies turned out all right, the taste is just a bit bland…perhaps could be perked up with a dusting of powdered sugar.
