This recipe is inspired by an old-fashioned honey cookie.
Originating in Germany, classic honey cookies are soft, round cookies, flavored with warm spices.
Anticipating spring around the corner, and inspired by Adagio's new
whipped honey- these cookies are the perfect March treat!
In lieu of spices, we chose Adagio's
Honeybush Hazelnut as the sweet seasoning. The Honeybush Hazelnut has a well-rounded nutty flavor with sweet notes brought to life by Adagio's
Whipped Honey - Matcha. The matcha's sweet honey and earthiness is a perfect pairing with Honeybush Hazelnut!
Enjoy cookies with a hot cup of Honeybush Hazelnut and an extra drizzle of Matcha Honey and they will remind you of a beautiful early spring day with the flora fresh in bloom.
