Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/8 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract this is a taste thing-add more or less accordingly
  • 1/2 Tbsp honey
  • 3 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, milk, almond extract, and honey. Scrap sides of bowl often. Sift dry ingredients together. Mix them in with wet ingredients until well combined. Dough will be soft and sticky. Place dough on well floured surface. Knead in just enough flour to make dough workable (I end up using 3/4 cup more or so). The dough will still be very soft. Knead with a rolling motion to avoid getting cracks in the dough. Gently roll with a rolling pin until dough is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out desired shapes and place on baking sheet with parchment. Bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Makes about 2 dozen.
