Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups honey
• 1½ cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ pound of softened/melted butter
• 6 cups of flour
• 3½ teaspoons baking powder
• Icing Sugar Glaze Ingredients
• 3 cups icing sugar
• 3 egg whites

Directions

• Whisk together the eggs and the sugar.
• Add the sour cream, honey and softened butter and mix.
• In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder together and add the flour mixture slowly to the honey mixture until fully incorporated together.
• Refrigerate for 4 hours, but overnight is best to allow the dough to firm up together.
• Using a tablespoon, spoon out a tablespoon size piece of dough into your lightly floured hands. Roll each piece into a ball and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F and bake for 13-15 minutes.
• Finish baking and allow to cool before proceeding to the next step.
• In a bowl, whisk together the icing sugar and egg whites together. There are 3 ways to proceed, choose the one method which suits you best!
• Icing Method 1
• Dip the cookies fully into the glaze and place on a baking rack to drip dry the excess icing sugar until fully dry.
• Icing Method 2
• Using a pastry brush, brush the top side until completely covered in the icing sugar glaze. When it dries, brush the underside of the cookie. This method is the nicest method, but takes the longest. I rarely return to ice the underside of the cookies!
• Icing Method 3
• Place the cookies in a large mixing bowl, then add the icing sugar mixture on top of them. Using your hands, mix it all together coating each cookie. This doesnt look as pretty as the other methods, but very practical and quick, and has not impact on taste.
