Simple and tasty whole wheat honey cookies are the answer for those who, like me, had long searched for whole wheat shortbread that weren’t heavy or dull on the palate. After several attempts, I finally achieved the texture I wanted. These cookies are sweet just enough, perfect to start the day with a healthy breakfast, but ideal for snacking at any time. I enriched the dough with dark chocolate chips, which pair perfectly with the honey. If you’re looking for genuine, light, homemade treats, you’re in the right place.
Come along and let’s start baking.
Happy baking, Giusi.
