Honey Cinnamon Cookies

This recipe reminds me of why I rarely consult Allrecipes.com for anything at all. These cookies, as others have noted in their reviews, come out dense, flat, and hard. They are not good. They do not look like the photo. As others have also noted, it's probably because the ratio of sugar (both brown and honey) to flour is imbalanced. The correct cookie ratio is: 1 part sugar, 2 parts fat, 3 parts flour (1:2:3). THIS recipe is TWO parts SUGAR to 1 part fat. It's inverted. The excessive sugar causes the cookie to harden like candy, instead of a true cookie. They are aesthetically and texturally unappealing. Furthermore, the recipe's directions are poor. The dough is warm after being worked and moist, and so this dough needs to be refrigerated for AT LEAST an hour before being divided and shaped, or it'll just be a mess. I believe rolling the cookies in MORE sugar is also a mistake. If you want a sugar garnish, add it immediately after they come out of the oven. Regardless, not really a salvageable recipe without a major overhaul. This isn't a baker's cookie; it's a cookie for people who are satisfied with an off-the-shelf bag of factory-made cookies.

I was looking for a treat that didn’t have white sugar in the recipe. (I left out the last part of recipe). De-liciousssss! And so easy!!! This is my first ever recipe review, but this recipe deserves 5 stars! And the hubby loves them too!

Easy recipe to follow. I doubled the cinnamon and they were nicely spiced. Dough is very wet and sticky but the cookies came out so light and delicious!

Definitely make sure to roll the dough into big enough balls as I didn't and the edges ended up burned and crispy. But they were quite tasty warm out of the oven. I think this recipe struggles from the same problem a lot of homemade cookies do; they are not as good the next day when they're no longer warm and soft. One last tip I learned the hard way is that wax paper is not the same as parchment paper and will melt and attach itself to the dough.

I did add 1/2 cup extra flour but it was still too sticky to work with. I stole Donna's trick from the reviews and scraped on wax paper and rolled into a snake. Before I cut slices off to roll into balls I chilled the whole thing over night. Didn't need a floured knife I just had to hurry up and get balls made and rolled in the sugar before it warmed up. Worked great. Cookies were amazing according to the people at the Christmas party! I loved them as well.

They came out more bland like a sugar cookie than tasting like honey and cinnamon sugar—which is a large part of the ingredients. So I added more honey on the tops of them. They absorbed the honey for the most amazing and part, which was kind cool.

I was really nervous about making these because of the majority of the reviews talking about how sticky they were. So I added an extra half cup of flour. I also put all the liquids - egg, butter, and honey in the bowl first. Then sifted flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon directly into the bowl along with the brown sugar. Baking is a science and often the order of ingredients can make all the difference. I mixed all together and the consistency was PERFECT. No problems at all rolling them in balls. They came out a little thicker than I expected but that makes sense with the added flower. They are chewy and moist and delicious. My kids are thrilled.

Delicious flavor! I was out of ap flour so used sr and omitted the baking soda. Too sticky to roll into balls so dropped them by teaspoonfuls then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Baked for 9 minutes since they were smaller.
