One of my all-time favorite cookie recipes. An awesome Cinnamon Honey Cookies recipe! Crunchy outside with a moist inside.
Cookies. Oh how we all love cookies. I probably post more cookie recipes than any other type of recipe. Not sure why but it’s probably because everyone loves cookies.
Or maybe because they are so easy to make? I really have no idea the “why” we all love cookies but all I know is I love making them and eating them. And these Cinnamon Honey Cookies are no exception.
I’ve posted before on this food blog that one of my favorite cookie recipes is my Rod’s Soft Molasses Cookies. Several of my other cookie recipes come are almost as good as my Molasses cookies and I would consider this recipe one of them! It’s an old recipe but it has stood the test of time. A little crunchy shell with a moist inside.
What I love about an old cookie recipe like this is that it uses very common ingredients that you probably have on hand. The only exception might be the coarse sugar, which is a must for these cookies.
If you use regular granulated sugar it will melt when you bake the cookies. Coarse sugar will not melt during the baking process.
