I’m always on the look-out for “healthy” hundred-year-old cookie recipes, so I was thrilled when I came across a recipe for Honey Wafers. The recipe uses honey as the primary sweetener – though it does contain a small amount of sugar.
Old-fashioned Honey Wafers are delightful with coffee. They have a distinct honey flavor, with mild undertones of lemon. Don’t expect these cookies to taste like sugar cookies.
I used a 2-inch in diameter round cookies cutter when making these cookies. This was a good size. Small is better. The honey is very predominant, and made for savoring.
These cookies got relatively hard after a day or two, but were still good. They could also be softened by putting in an airtight container with a slice or two of apple.

I made this recipe this morning. They were supposed to be for a potluck tomorrow, but hubby says they won’t last that long! I can definitely taste the honey, but they are still not over-sweet like many American recipes can be. I think they’d go great with a dish of strawberries, so I’m off to the store….

I like a “not too sweet” cookie as well. I feel less guilty and allow myself just a few more. 🙂
