I got this authentic recipe for Polish Honey Cookies from a Polish friend. She actually translated her recipe into English for us, and then L and I converted the measurements from decagrams as best we could. We also adapted the instructions a bit. I have to share it with you because they are so delicious. It's hard to stop at just one. I hope you will try them.
Ingredients (for approx. 36 cookies)
4 1/3 c flour
4 1/3 c flour
1 c honey
1/2 c icing sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1 egg
1/2 c icing sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1 egg
2 tsp baking soda
spices - ground nutmeg, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, pepper (L used cinnamon and nutmeg)
Mix honey with other ingredients until smooth.

Flatten small spoonfuls, making a hole with a straw, apply any decorations you wish....remember to apply icing sugar AFTER BAKING
bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 F
Remember, the cookies are hard, they will soften when you store them in a tightly closed container... the longer, the better..... you can keep them for several months
Enjoy!
I'll save the recipe for later...TOO MANY sweets in the house right now!
ReplyDeleteOh, these sound really good! And I really want some cookies, so good timing! Is there a reason for the hole?
ReplyDeleteKathy, I hope you like them
ReplyDeleteJapra, I think the hole is just for decorative purposes.
