Honey Spice Krinkles Recipes

HONEY & SPICE CRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together the brown sugar and shortening.
• Beat in the eggs and honey.
• Combine dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.
• Chill dough in refrigerator for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls and roll in white sugar. (Keep dough chilled between batches so it doesn't get too soft).
• Place 2-inches apart on a slightly greased (or parchment paper covered) baking sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass.
• Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool on pan for about 5 minutes then remove to cool completely. (I use parchment and just slide the parchment off the baking sheet onto the counter to cool).

SOFT HONEY COOKIES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat sugar and oil until blended. Beat in egg; beat in honey and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well (dough will be stiff). Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours., Preheat oven to 350°. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake until bottoms are lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pan to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

OLD-FASHIONED MOLASSES CRINKLES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, pepper, and salt in a bowl until combined.
• Beat together shortening, butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer (preferably fitted with paddle attachment) or 6 minutes with a handheld. Add egg and molasses, beating until combined. Reduce speed to low, then mix in flour mixture until combined.
• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°F.
• Roll 1 heaping teaspoon of dough into a 1-inch ball with wet hands, then dip 1 end of ball in sanding sugar. Make more cookies in same manner, arranging them, sugared side up, 2 inches apart on two ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until undersides are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes total, then cool on sheets 1 minute. Transfer to racks to cool completely.

QUICK HONEY-SPICE BREAD

• Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick comes out clean in the center, about 50 minutes in my oven.
• Place pan on wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then turn loaf out onto rack to cool completely.
• To make a glaze for the bread use 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons margarine and 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar. Microwave on HIGH until melted, then spoon over warm bread.
