All I wanted was to make this recipe before Christmas and finally here we are.
Honey and spice cookies, I made these honey cookies and my daughter painted them.
She is seriously an artist so I asked her if she can do it because I love how she works.
She usually makes cookies for Christmas (my mom's recipe) which I have already posted but this is a new recipe.
I loved it.
This recipe is from an old magazine of recipes that we had in Chile "Paula" unfortunately no longer exists but I have several collections so I dedicate this recipe to those who worked in "Paula" Magazine from December 2002 (Pin Campaña, Paula Minte, Pia Jarpa and many others)
Just delicious !
Merry Christmas everyone ...
