Baba Chimbora’s Honey Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 lb creamed honey
- 2 cups dark brown sugar – packed
- 1 lb butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tbsp vinegar
- 8 cups flour
- 4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 egg for the egg wash
Directions:
1. In large saucepan, put honey, brown sugar and butter just to melt. Set aside to cool.
2. Beat 4 eggs and add to honey mixture and add milk and vinegar.
3. Mix flour, soda and powder and add to liquid. Mixture will be almost like cake batter. Set mixture in fridge overnight.
4. Take out and let sit 20 minutes. Using ¼ batch, roll using lots of flour. Roll to 1/4” or slightly thicker. Cut with cookie cutter and place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Brush with egg wash (1 egg mixed with water). You could add sprinkles at this time.
5. Bake at 325° for 13 minutes
