Honey Cookies are scrumptious cookies covered in icing, typical of the Christmas season. Quick and easy to make, these Christmas Honey Cookies can be cut into any shape you like and decorated however you please. For example, you can make simple stars like mine, or use cookie cutters in classic Christmas shapes.

Honey and cinnamon cookies are perfect for hanging on the tree, like the Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Ornaments, or for packing up and giving to friends and neighbors. In that case, I suggest making little bags of mixed Christmas cookies, perhaps adding Reindeer Cookies and Gingerbread Cookies too. Now let’s make the Honey Cookies together.

Method

To make the Honey Cookies, put 300 g of flour in the bowl of a stand mixer, making a well, and add the sugar, honey, butter, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves. Run the mixer until you get a firm, smooth dough. If it doesn’t turn out that way, add more flour until you get the right consistency. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
When the resting time is up, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about half a centimeter thick, then use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many cookies as possible. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake them at 180 °C (350 °F) for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the decoration: sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Bring the water to a boil, then pour it into the bowl with the powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time, stirring well. When you have used up all the ingredients, stir well and check whether you need to add more: if the icing is too runny, add more powdered sugar; if it’s too thick, add more water.
Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool completely, then brush the sugar icing over them. Once the icing has hardened, serve the Honey Cookies. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Variations and Alternatives

There are so many ways to customize your Honey Cookies. First of all, you can choose whichever cookie cutters you like best, and you can also add food coloring to the icing to decorate your cookies in lots of different colors.

Tips

Space the Honey Cookies a couple of centimeters apart on the baking sheet, because they will spread as they bake.

Storage

You can keep the Honey Cookies in a cookie tin for a couple of days.
