These are wonderful holiday butter cookies, from Feast Without Yeast:4 Stages to Better Health Parents and teachers will thank you, because they contain no sugar. This recipe makes 10-13 dozen cookies, depending on how thick the cookies are. Start these cookies well before you need them.
- 1-1/2 c. sweet butter at room temperature
- 1-1/2 c. unprocessed clover honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 4-5 c. whole wheat pastry flour
- extra whole wheat pastry flour for kneading
Cream the butter and honey. Mix in the eggs. Add the baking soda and the flour, little by little. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least one hour to one day. When you take out the dough, preheat the oven to 350F. Take out a little dough at a time and knead some extra flour into it. Roll out on a well-floured board or table to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes. If you do not feel like rolling it out, make small balls (about a teaspoonful of dough) and press down with a fork. Or, make a dough log, wrap well in plastic wrap, freeze, then slice off cookies to bake as needed. Whatever method you use, place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350F for about 6 minutes until the bottoms are light brown. Do not over bake! Remove immediately to cool.
