These are so great! I have been looking for a good recipe to use the honey I bought at a farm stand a few weeks ago. I was planning to make granola, but when I happened upon this recipe in one of the awesome used cookie cookbooks I picked up at the library resale, it looked too delicious not to try! AND I got to utilize my new flour sifter. Sifting the dry ingredients in a cookie recipe produces a lighter cookie and is an important step. If you don't have a sifter you can use a strainer to sift. These cookies turned out soft, sweet, and with a light caramely flavor (thanks to the wildflower honey, I believe). I am sure they would be good with regular honey as well. I switched out some of the raisins for dried cherries and cranberries for a bit of variety.
Wildflower Honey Cookies
Ingredients
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup soft butter
3/4 cup honey (preferably wildflower)
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups raw oats
1 1/2 cup raisins or other dried fruit
Cream together sugar, butter, honey and egg until well blended and smoooth.
Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon and soda and add to the honey mix.
Add oats and raisins.
Drop by generous teaspoonfuls onto parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes (depending on your oven) until cookies are lightly browned. Cool on a cooling rack.
Have a happy Wednesday!
