The Perfect Holiday Honey Cookie

We’ve called this the season of giving, the season of light, the season of all things merry and bright.  But… let’s not forget… the season of the cookie!

Cookie swaps, cookie trays given as gifts, cookie tins in the workplace kitchen or staffroom… they are everywhere during the holidays. Especially during the holidays!

We know you all have your favorite cookie recipe, the one you bake each year for the holidays and have perfected over time and with each batch you’ve pulled from the oven. We wouldn’t dream of trying to replace that cookie on your agenda this holiday season.

What we’re proposing is that you give this sweet little holiday cookie a try. We’ve heard it called the Perfect Honey Cookie. Perfect for the Christmas and holiday season, perfect for gift giving, and perfect to eat warm, right out of the oven. Shhh, we won’t tell if you won’t!

Let us know what you think of this recipe, which has the seasonal scent of cinnamon combined with the sweetness of all-natural honey and the ingredient that makes everything taste good… butter.
