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

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!
