Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan.
• Melt the honey and the butter together in a small saucepan over a gentle heat. Leave to cool for 15 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Pour in the honey and butter mixture and stir together using a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
• Roll out the dough to about 2cm thick, Cut out shapes using a small cookie cutter. I like hearts and stars and I used a 4cm cutter. Alternatively, just roll out small balls of dough and squish them down gently so that theyre 2cm thick. Keep re-rolling the dough until youve used it all up.
• Place the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper or a non-stick liner - youll probably need to use 2 or 3.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until pale golden. Let cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Decorate as you wish - coat completely in chocolate (my favourite!), half dip them or just dip the bases and drizzle with more chocolate. Its up to you! Leave to set at room temperature and then enjoy!
