Honey Places

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 125 g honey
• 200 g sugar
• 4 tbsp milk
• 100 g butter
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 6 drops of bitter almond flavor
• 1 ½ tsp, crushed cinnamon powder
• 400 g wheat flour
• 20 g cocoa
• 100 g cornstarch
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 75 g almonds, chopped

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 7 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 7 minutes

like my grandma’s, makes about 60 cookies

Melt the honey, sugar, milk, and butter in a hot saucepan, transfer to a mixing bowl, and chill. Once the mixture has cooled, add the spices, 2/3 of the sifted flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and baking powder. Knead in the remaining flour and the almonds. If the dough is still sticky, add a little more flour. Roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thick and cut out cookies using cookie cutters. I always use a round cutter with a diameter of 4 cm. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Don’t place the cookies too close together, as they will spread slightly. Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C (top/bottom heat) for about 6-7 minutes on the middle rack. This dough will make about 60 cookies.
