Description

These honey cake cookies are an absolute must during the Christmas season! The recipe comes from a dear neighbor and yields a huge amount - perfect if you have many hungry mouths to feed or simply want to have a supply of delicious cookies. The dough is a bit more elaborate to make, but the result is worth it. The spices and honey give the cookies an unmistakable taste. They are not only delicious, but also a real eye-catcher on every cookie plate. They taste best when they have been left to infuse for a few days.
