Honey cookies without eggs
Description
This recipe won’t take much time. You can make egg-free honey cookies in next to no time. The recipe will see you through in any situation. The cookies use only four ingredients: flour, baking powder, butter, and honey. They’re made without eggs—which means without egg whites or yolks. That can matter to a lot of people, for different reasons. The dough is rolled into balls with your hands. If you have a bit more time and kids with nothing to do, you can invent something fun. The dough keeps well—you can stash it for up to a week ahead.
