These Christmas cookies are a perennial favorite. They may be rolled out and cut into rounds, stars, or crescents. Often they are hung on the lower branches of the Christmas tree as treats for the younger children.

I'm not a big fan of honey, but these cookies were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.
