Warm vanilla honey cookies stuffed with sugar and spice and everything nice… surely that qualifies as heaven. And if that doesn’t do it for you, the scent of these bad boys wafting through your home as they bake most certainly will. I stumbled upon this recipe for vanilla honey cookies over on Mary’s food blog during a particularly stressful day last week, and as luck would have it, I had all of the ingredients on hand. You see, baking is kind of my meditation, and while this can be dangerous for one’s waistline, whipping together butter and sugar tends to work for me every time. And while testing out new recipes on a whim doesn’t always yield great results, this one right here is most definitely for keeps.
