These cookies have always been a hit when I have brought them to any type of functions with young and old. We bring in cookies to the Education Center I work at and they are usually one of the first to go along with my sugar cookies. They take a little work but are well worth it. Just be careful about bringing them to fuctions with any children because they are peanut cookies and some people have a food allergy to peanuts. I usually mark them as peanut butter cookies. I usually double the recipe when I make these. The honey makes them a nice moist peanut- butter cookie.
