Absolutely fantastic cookie! These are our new favorite cookies! I use a snowflake for winter cookies, and a maple leaf other times of the year - the shape does not matter. I have found a BRIEF chilling of the dough helps, but too long and they are difficult to roll out. I usually dont need it but try a bit of cornstarch sifted over the rolling surface instead of flour to keep them crispy.

I have made a couple of variations and they are all great. The best variation I have done is to top them with a sprinkle of kosher or specialty salt! The salt brings out the wonderful sweet flavor of the honey. Sounds crazy but is delicious! Try replacing part of the honey with maple syrup - yummy; add 1/2 t cardamom ( or replace cinnamon if you don't like cinnamon and they are great too.

I chilled the dough before cutting and used a tiny bit of flour on the bottom of the board and plastic wrap on the top so as to not get too much flour in and make the cookies too tough. I love the flavor, but I think I won't cook them to such a crisp next time. Still LOVE these though. Some of the best cookies I have ever had of made :D

A-ma-zing! The dough is very soft, so I just added a bit more flour while rolling it until it was the consistency I liked. 12 min worked perfect for me. I also used salted butter, and a very strong tasting honey.

Later, I tried a variation of this recipe since my husband does not like cinnamon. I replaced the teaspoon of cinnamon for a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Phenomenal cookie!

The best part? Since there is no egg, you can eat all the raw dough you want :-D

Fleur de Lys, Heart in Hand, no matter what shape, this dough is amazing in flavor. I did have a bit of a problem with the softness of the dough, so I chilled it before the bake. I figure if a recipe started in grams, it should be used that way, or trouble is down the road, but I found that it was so sticky I had to add flour to the board and worked in less than a hand full more. Could the bakers here and Laura for that matter confirm the measurements of the ingredients? Want these to be ever so perfect.

I can see why this is Laura's favorite cookie. I made honey hearts (my only non-Christmas cookie cutter exactly as directed, and I absolutely loved them. I gave them to several family members, and everyone went crazy over them. Making another batch right away!

We had no Fleur de Lys cookie cutters, so my brother and I just cut them into triangles. The recipe doesn't explicitly say that you should chill the dough, but the long prep time might hint at that, and it should definitely help with the cutting.

I found these cookies to be a bit too sweet, but the honey and cinnamon go really well together. I think using salted butter would help in cutting through the sweetness. Also, because the cookies were supposed to be cooked until crispy, it actually tasted just the tiniest bit burnt; if you like it that crunchy, consider lowering the heat (or even turning off the heat and leaving the cookie in the oven for a longer period of time.

Will definitely make this again, but tweaking the recipe would make it better, at least for my taste buds.
