Honey Sugar Cookies are soft dough cutouts perfect for holiday decorating. These cookies bake up fast and will be a new Christmas favorite.

I’m a big fan of cookies.

I’d rather have a cookie than a piece of cake or any other dessert. As much as I love baking cookies, I hate making roll outs.
I could never get the dough right. Too dry, too sticky, baked too hard, crumbly, just not good. So I’d get my roll outs in cookie swaps or buy them outright.
So because of my lack of roll out cookie expertise, I never decorated cookies with icing. Can you believe it? Ha!
Well that changed when I found this recipe for sugar cookies that also added honey. If you are roll out cookie challenged like me then you will love this recipe. I included an easy Royal icing recipe to make frosting these gems a breeze.
I love baking cookies on this Silpat sheet. It easily withstands the heat. Love the fact you save on greasing the sheets. I honestly think cookies bake more evenly too with the Silpat silicon sheet.
