These are cookies for people - not dogs. (Just to be clear!) I made these and used a bone-shaped cookie cutter to take to my dog's daycare for the people that work there, which is called "No Bonz About It." These are like sugar cookies, but they have a silky honey flavor to them - really nice taste! This recipe comes from my Betty Crocker cook book.

How To Make honey cookies

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease cookie sheet with shortening.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix powdered sugar, butter, honey, almond extract and egg. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.
  • 3
    Sprinkle a clean surface with flour. Put dough on surface and roll until 1/8 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters.
  • 4
    Place cookies about 1 inch apart on cookie sheet and bake 6 - 8 minutes until light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack to cool.
  • 5
    While cooling, make glaze (in photo above, the white on the cookie is the glaze) and frosting (in photo above, the black and red is the frosting).
  • 6
    GLAZE: Combine powdered sugar, almond extract and 2 Tbsp water. Stir in, 1 teaspoon at a time, additional water until glaze is spreadable.
  • 7
    FROSTING: Mix all ingredients in small bown, adding the water 1 teaspoon at a time until frosting is thin enough to drizzle or thick enough to be used in a decorating bag, depending on how you are going to decorate the cookies.
  • 8
    Once cookies are completely cooled, spread glaze on cookies and then decorate with frosting.
