This is not your average sugar cookie... I have been making these for over 40 years.
It is an excellent roll out cookie, but it also works well in a cookie press. Any flavor of extract can be used. —Miss_Karen
Ingredients
-
1/3 cup
Butter, softened
-
1/3 cup
Granulated Sugar
-
1
Large Egg
-
2/3 cup
Honey (I prefer to use orange blossom or wild flower. But blackberry honey is delicious too.)
-
1 teaspoon
Lemon Extract
-
2 3/4 cups
All Purpose Flour
-
1 teaspoon
Baking Soda
-
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
Directions
-
Cream butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Add honey, egg and extract. Sift dry ingredients together, mix well.
-
Cover and chill the dough about 1 hour.
-
Pre heat oven to 375° F.
-
on a lightly floured board, roll dough out 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, and sprinkle with colored sugar.
-
Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until no imprint remains when lightly touched. All cookies continue to cook as they cool. These are supposed to be just set and tender.

* * People are reluctant to try these, because they look like ho hum sugar cookies. However, once they try them, these cookies don’t stick around very long.
-
If you would like to make these 3 dimensional: Cut a vertical slit between two points on each star to just above the center; spread dough apart to form a 1/4-in. opening. Assemble by placing two stars together at slits.
