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 COOKIES FROM THE OLD COUNTRY- GRANDMA'S

Honey Cookies From The Old Country- Grandma's image

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.
