Valentine honey cookies

Valentine honey cookiescookies

We won't get away from hearts in the most loving month of the year. And what is better that honey-chocolate heart-shaped cookies mmm :)

This is a standard honey cookies recipe, the trick is no more flour than stated here and no more baking than 10-12 minutes. They stay soft and melt in your mouth.

For the cookies you need:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup sunflower oil
• 5 cups flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp cinnamon+ginger+cloves powder
• 1 tsp baking soda

For the decoration:

• 200 g black or milk chocolate
• 100 g white chocolate
• jam at your choice (mine is plum jam, it combines perfectly with cinnamon and honey in cookies)
• 1 tbsp oil

Приготвяне;

Sift the flour in a big bowl, stir together with cinnamon and other Christmas spices.

In another bowl put together honey and the baking soda, in order to "neutralize".

In a third bowl beat the eggs and sugar, gradually pour the oil and the honey. After you stir it very well, add the liquid mixture to the flour and start kneading. It will probably be sticky but don't be tempted to add much flour because cookies will get too firm. Sprinkle some flour to roll out the dough easier. Cut the cookies with a heart shaped cutter - 2 sizes, to get linzer-like cookies. :) Bake at 200 degrees on baking paper not more than 10-12 minutes

It is recommended to spread the jam on the still warm cookies thus helping them to get softer.

The rest that won't be glued with jam should be cooled down a little bit. Chocolate glaze is made very easy in the MW - 2 minutes at lower intensity. The chocolate is melted best with 1 tbsp oil for glittery effect. Decorate the heart-shaped cookies with black and white chocolate.

They taste best after few days stored in a cool place. If ever they could last so long! ;)
