Allow mixture to cool to room temperature before adding the eggs, sour cream, baking soda, and baking powder. Once boiling, turn off the heat and add the butter and coffee. In a large saucepan, bring the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and anise extract to a boil over medium-high heat. Share these cookies with family and friends during your holiday celebrations-perhaps you'll start a new tradition.įive Years Ago: Red Wine Chocolate Truffles & Gingerbread Cookies The cookies bake up smooth, which is perfect for decorating if you choose to do so. An anise glaze may be added for a touch more flavor and a hint more sweetness. The spices come together beautifully and the addition of sour cream make these cookies soft to the touch and to the taste. These soft Honey Cookies embrace the comforting flavors of the holiday-cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and anise. Memories of holidays past bring up images of family laughing around the table, cousins sneaking extra cookies in pockets and up sleeves, and my grandfather reminding everyone, again, how much he loved these cookies. It didn't matter that the cookies were cold, or that they were not presented just so-everyone knew they were the genuine star of the holiday table.
Since the honey cookies were a late arrival to the party (we would have certainly spoiled our appetites if they arrived sooner), they were placed on a nearby dining room chair. By this time, the dessert table was already full, arranged with candies and cookies of all flavors and textures on brightly colored holiday plates.
Growing up, the honey cookies were served out of large vintage yellow Tupperware container, brought in from the cold garage after the evening meal. The honey cookies are guests at our holiday celebrations, making their appearance when family is gathered. Shared between mother and daughter, grandmother and granddaughter, and cousin to cousin, this recipe is weaved throughout our family history. This honey cookie recipe has been passed down through four generations in my family.
