Recipe Description
Honey cookies are easy and quick to make. You can make the dough in only 15 minutes; the rest is baking time. Most importantly, children are incredibly engaged in their production.

ingredients
- 9 oz flour
- 6 butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp baking powder
Method
Step 1
Melt wet ingredients like butter and honey in a small saucepan over low heat until combined.
Step 2
Measure and sift dry ingredients like flour and baking powder in the large bowl.
Step 3
Once the butter and honey are lukewarm, pour everything into the bowl with flour and mix thoroughly with a spatula to combine the ingredients.
Step 4
The dough consistency will be moist and unsuitable for rolling and cutting into shapes (you don't add too much flour- the cookies will crumble after baking). The next step will be the hardest part of this cookie. We need to flatten the cookies even though the dough will be sticky. But don't fret—kids love this part. It's a perfect opportunity for children to have a blast shaping them with a fork or any other tool they fancy. This is our favorite part of the process!
Step 5
Once the dough is ready, use an ice cream or cookie scoop to form small balls. Remember, the size is entirely up to you, depending on how big you want your cookies to be. Mine come out 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, but feel free to experiment!
Step 6
You will need 2 baking trays to bake the best way. Line the baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone cookie sheet.
Step 7
In the next step, form balls with your hands and place them on the tray (I mix 6 pieces).
Step 8
Next, our balls must be flattened a bit to give them the shape of cookies. I flatten them with the tip of a fork, making a cross.
Step 9
When the first tray of cookies is ready, put it in the oven and start making the second batch on the second tray. This will ensure that the cookies are baked quickly and efficiently.
Step 10
Bake for about 8-10 minutes in a well-heated oven until golden brown. Don't worry—they'll be perfect!
Step 11
Once the cookies are baked, place them on a wire rack to cool. I know from experience that they disappear quickly, even if they are not completely cooled. However, if you want to transfer them to a cookie container, they must be completely cooled; otherwise, they will steam up and not be crispy. Enjoy!
