In cookie form!!

Here's try #1.

Hmmm...the result of talking while measuring the flour.

Is that what we decided, my unnamed cookie friend?



Try #2.

MUCH better!!

And the recipe:

Mini Cinnamon Roll Cookies

1 cup butter, softened

1-3/4 cups sugar, divided

3 egg yolks

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey, divided

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (a little more?)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped (or powdered sugar glaze!)

In a large bowl, cream butter and 1-1/4 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, 1 tablespoon honey and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

Shape a heaping tablespoonful of dough into a 6-inch log. In a shallow bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; roll log in cinnamon-sugar. Loosely coil log into a spiral shape; place on a greased baking sheet. Repeat, placing cookies 1 in. apart. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar.

Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. In a small bowl, melt baking chocolate with remaining honey; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
