Honey Cookies

This time of the year is honey time. Many people prefer the flavor of honey over sugar. Others eat it because they believe it is healthier. (It is not healthier than sugar.)  I eat it because it’s a traditional food this time of the year, and I enjoy the taste if it isn’t overpowering. I have this delicious honey cookie recipe that I have been making for about 9 years. The cookies are soft and almost cake-like. Best of all (for me) is that the honey flavor is not overwhelming. Here is the recipe.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs
3 Tbsp honey
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt

Beat together sugar, oil, eggs, and honey. Combine dry ingredients. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients. With moistened hands form dough into small balls and place on baking sheet, OR drop by teaspoonful onto lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
