Prepare many to enjoy when you want or to give as a gift at Christmas! Here is the recipe (and many ideas to embellish and package them)
Delicious and soft Honey biscuits: what's better to indulge in a mid-afternoon cuddle, perhaps accompanying them to the five o'clock tea, but also for breakfast or after dinner?
Sugar-free cookies
In these biscuits there is none sugar among the ingredients, but there is plenty of honey and the dough is enveloping and tasty.
The pastry is soft in the heart and crunchy on the outside, buttery, scented with orange and lemon, sweet and rustic.
You can use the honey of your choice although in our opinion with the wildflower or with the Acacia's honey always play it safe.
If you love intense flavors, try the chestnut honey.
How to make honey cookies: the recipe
Ingredients
250 g of flour 00
150 g of potato starch
150 g of honey
2 eggs
5 g of baking powder
a pinch of salt
grated peel of half a lemon and half an untreated orange
90 g of cold butter cut into small pieces
Method
Prepare the pastry for the biscuits by mixing the cold butter with the flour, starch and yeast.
Then add the honey, eggs and citrus peel.
Work well with your hands and only at the end add a pinch of sugar which serves to enhance the taste of honey by contrasting it.
Once you have a compact and uniform shortcrust pastry, let it cool in the refrigerator for a couple of hours wrapped in plastic wrap.
After the time has elapsed, roll it out and cut it out, or take some balls of dough and make round biscuits which you will then lightly crush with your hands on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cook them at 180 ° for 15-20 minutes in a hot static oven.
How to make honey cookies the perfect Christmas gifts

You can also add spices, like ginger and cinnamon, and you can give your biscuits a particular shape of chamberlains, sapling or starlet.
You can also glaze them if you want to make them special, with one icing made from egg white and lemon or orange juice or with del dark chocolate.
