My son and I made this for his Heritage Day at School. It was a very simple recipe. Was pleasantly surprised at how they tasted. You can't have just one.

These were actually pretty good. I bought a 5 piund tub of honey at Costco, and my daughter requested/suggested honey cookies. I had no idea, so I used this recipe and they turned out quite nice. There is a small time frame between perfect and too crunchy. I found 8 minutes (exactly!) was just right. Thanks!

Disappointing as a cookie, but tasty in their own way. They were very mild and moist. If I made them again I would use more spices and serve them with breakfast, but it's probably not worth all the honey.

Nice cookie, and a nice change from all the other Christmas cookies that are around right now. I used a 'red' honey, and used 1/2 cup of sugar to 1 cup of honey, and it turned out quite nicely. Next time I think I'll add a little more ginger, and a bit of cinnamon. I also found that dropping them onto the pan produced a "rough-looking" cookie... the dough is quite stiff, so I just shaped balls with my hands and flattened them slightly.

These were so tasty, especially on a cold winter day. It was a cheer me up with my coffee.

Very good cookie. Loved the "texture". I used 1 1/4 c. butter instead of the shortening. Also took others suggestion and used 1 1/4 c. honey and 1/2 c. sugar for more "honey" taste. I did add 1/2 t. cinn amon and a pinch of nutmeg along with the 1/2 t. ginger. They still came out very good. In fact, I am thinking about entering them in next year's state fair. Thank you for a "keeper".

These cookies are very moist & tasty. I used butter-flavored shortening. Instead of 1 tsp ginger, I used 1/2 tsp. GINGER & 1/2 tsp. NUTMEG. I also used 1 1/4 c. honey & 1/2 c. sugar.(Mainly because I was looking for a "honey" specific recipe! Baking time: 10-11 min@350. I found that if I let them set for a minute after removing them from the oven they were easier to get out of the pan w/out distorting them(because they are so soft). This would be a perfect cookie to serve with a cup of hot tea.

My daughter made this for her Germany Culture Project for school. I didn't expect them to come out so well. These were great. I'll keep this recipe and use it again! These were not bland at all. She cooked them for only 11 minutes and came out perfect.

This is a great cookie! My 4th grade daughter needed an authentic German recipe for a family heritage research project at school, and this was the perfect solution! They cooked in 10 minutes, and cooled slightly chewy. They are a bit bland, but not in a bad way. Would be great with a cup of hot tea! Will do this recipe again.

I did not love this receipe. I think it needs a half cup more honey, and it needs to bake less time so it is more moist and "honey-like." I did change the reciepe slightly by adding 1/2tsp of nutmeg and 1/2tsp of ginger, instead of 1tsp of ginger. I will try this receipe again, but I would add more honey.

Ooooh... very good cookie... I added nutmeg and cinnamon instead of ginger (not a fan of the spice)... they had an old fashioned goodness to them... great snack to have around... but very tempting!

Nice simple honey cookies. I used 1 1/4 cups honey + 1/2 cup sugar rather than the 1 cup sugar/1 cup honey as recommended (Im a beekeeper, no shortage of honey here) and 150g butter rather than shortening. They're a soft cookie sort of in the way gingerbread is soft. Lightly honey-flavoured and perfect for dunking in some hot chocolate or tea.
