Who's doing a little Memorial Day cookout this weekend? We probably won't be hosting one, as our deck is only half way complete, but we did get a few invitations to others. Never one to arrive to a gathering empty handed, I thought I'd try a new cookie recipe from Golden Blossom Honey to take to our cookouts this weekend. I did a test run of these Butter Cookies yesterday, and they reminded me of my favorite sugar cookie, but only calls for 1/2 the sugar I normally use in them. They were so soft, moist and chewy, just how I love my cookies. And, even though my dogs are very good about staying off the counters, I'm pretty sure they helped themselves to a few while I was out working in my garden today! They're so tasty, they turn a good soul into a bad one, I tell ya!
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
GET THE FULL RECIPE HERE
The cookies are very easy to cut out and shape, as well as decorate with royal icing. I am feeling a little more patriotic this year as my sweet, first born nephew just left this week for his training in the Marines.

What are your weekend plans?
seems easy peasy... kinda like shortbread recipe?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think they are like shortbread, but I can't recall if shortbread cookies are crunchy or chewy?
Deletecrunchy when they cool off! You have a recipe for Earl Grey shortbread in my DEZZ IN THE KITCHEN album over at Facebook :)
DeleteYou're so much better than Martha Stewart will ever be. Those look great. I wonder what they do to a bad soul...I'm wondering, uh, for a friend. Wink.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Theresa.
They turn them into someone who's a blast to be around ;) Have a great weekend, Robyn!
DeleteHow awesome for your nephew. My step-son leaves next month for the Army (after he graduates).
ReplyDeleteThat's Great Robin! Wishing him all the best in the Army!
DeleteRobin- tell your stepson thank you for his service. My oldest son wanted to join but with his heart issues he is not able to. He is so disappointed that he can not follow his dad's footsteps.
DeleteThose turned out really cute! I should make cookies sometime soon. I've been getting the urge to do just that. The boys need snack options for the summer. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I love cookies and these are so festive!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Marines is good for your nephew. I was in the USAF and I had much respect for those Marines. This is a great recipe too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am so addicted to butter cookies, what a great idea for memorial day! They look really yummy.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had butter cookies in forever, and still have some GB honey in the cabinet. So trying this!
ReplyDeleteYum those cookies do sound delicious with that hint of honey. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the weekend yet!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look and sound great. Best of luck to your nephew too, I know how bittersweet it is when they enlist.
ReplyDeleteFirst - tell your nephew thank you for his service and I hope he does well with training. Second - those cookies look so good, I will have to try them out, hopefully I have what I need to whip up a batch tomorrow so we can frost them for Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteI love butter cookies. The ones you made for Memorial Day are awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh I love butter cookies! These are perfect for Memorial Day!
ReplyDeleteWow, Marines how awesome! Those look amazing, I can't make any of my baked goods look so good! Yummy.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I must try these. I feel the need to be bad for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look delicious. I love the frosting and that they have honey
ReplyDeleteThose cookies turned out great! i like that you used honey, what a nice healthy option!
ReplyDeleteButter cookies...surely family's favorite. And best of luck for your nephew and his training. .
ReplyDeleteYum, I love cooking with honey!
ReplyDeleteI love cooking with honey too. I've been learning a lot about its health benefits.
DeleteThese sound so delicious! Honey is way better than sugar
ReplyDeleteI am going to try this recipe! The cookies sound delicious and the recipe seems very easy. This is going on my must try baking list.
ReplyDeleteMy brother had a friend who didn't join the army with him because he found it too rough. So he then joined the Marine Corps... My brother has told me some stories about some of the physical requirements, but I've always assumed the Marines (from their reputation of toughness) would have greater challenges.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try baking some cookies and decorating with icing - I love the pretty look of iced cookies! I love that this recipe has less sugar!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies will sure be a hit I bet. All the best to your nephew
ReplyDeleteOh my, those cookies looks super delicious. I love sugar cookies! yums!
ReplyDeleteThose look so amazing. My kids and I may have to try this one. Amber N
