OLD GERMAN HONEY COOKIES
I got this recipe from my grandmother who got it from her grandmother. She had to translate it and then figure out measurements. The original recipe called for "enough flour to make a dough". Thankfully grandma knew what kind of dough.

HONEY DROP COOKIES
This is an old photocopied recipe that looks like it originated in Hamilton, Indiana. I found it on the same photocopied page as "Grandmother's Soft Sugar Cookies". The recipe is attributed to Orpha Walber. I've never made it before as I didn't know what raisin juice was until I recently searched the web for it... Recipe #311410 courtesy of Montana Heart Song should do the trick. I have no idea on recipe yield... and as for how long it should be baked... you're guess is as good as mine....I'm really just posting this recipe for history's sake.

GREAT GRANDMA'S SOUR CREAM DROP COOKIES
This recipe was on a card tucked into my mom's recipe box; it's pretty similar to a number of variations that seem to be from the 1930s. A note said "flavor with whatever you like" and of all the flavors I played around with, I thought lemon zest balanced the sweet dough the best. These bake up into tender little cakes that make a great base for whoopie pies. Once baked, they freeze well (thaw for an hour or so on the counter to eat), but start losing their tenderness after more than one day at room temperature.

HONEY DROPS
Mace and honey team up for an unusual, terrific flavor twosome in this recipe. These cookies taste best if you give them about a week in the cookie jar to mellow.

HONEY COOKIES FROM THE OLD COUNTRY- GRANDMA'S
Originally from Ireland and Wales where Grandma's old country relatives lived. This recipe is for some simple but good cookies that Grandma could make without a written recipe. Mom translated the recipe into a written form and I am so grateful for this old wonderful treasure. If making these for company Grandma would drizzle a little powdered sugar icing on these. it makes them pretty but the cookies are good either way. When I was growing up we just called these Honey Cookies. But knowing where they came from and how many of our ancestors enjoyed them just makes them so much better.
