Old Farmhouse Honey Cookies

September 3, 2020 By Kari 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My mom is graciously sharing her highly-coveted Honey Cookies recipe! These are a family favourite,
and fairly simple to make, with a couple of key ingredients that set them apart from the rest!

Harvest is one of my favourite parts of fall, including all the delicious food that comes along with it! Homemade soup, stew, fresh buns, pumpkin squares, apple cocktails, and the list goes on. While these honey cookies fit the fall lineup, we definitely indulge in them all year round (and I know you will too)!

The first magic ingredient is Skelton’s Farm Fresh honey. My parents raise bees on their acreage in Saskatchewan, and those bees produce the most magical honey. Of course, use what you have, but fresh, locally-produced honey is best. If you ever get a chance to swing by my parent’s gift shop in Middle Lake, be sure to pick some up! The second key ingredient is crushed Anise seed, which gives the cookies a very subtle licorice flavour.

You’ll Need:

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup Farm Fresh Honey
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • One egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp crushed anise seed
  • Turbinado sugar for rolling

  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Crush anise seed with a pestle and add to flour mixture.
  • Add dry to wet ingredients and stir until combined.

  • Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Shape into balls and roll in turbinado sugar.

  • Bake for 10 minutes on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
  • Makes approx. 24 cookies.

*Tip: You can make the cookies and freeze them, but they taste even more delicious if you make and freeze the cookie dough (in ball form), then bake them right before you’re going to serve them.

Even when Wyatt was littler and would sometimes get rejected at the park when he asked to play, it would shatter my heart. 😫

I was bullied in high school pretty bad. My aunt stepped in one time and regulated some mean girls. Shared the (now) hilarious story on my Stories.❤❤

Wyatt's cute tee is from @deuxpardeuxkids, I'm wearing my @smashtess sweetheart roper and that heart print out is @justinema's free printable Kindness Challenge! (Looks like I have some catching up to do)! 🤣

I know what each person needs varies, but for me, getting alone time to walk the dogs has been key in managing my anxiety and stress (especially this past year).

I believe investing in mental health initiatives is more important than ever. I’m so happy to be partnering with @atbfinancial for a really meaningful campaign called #ATBUp.

Each weekday from March 1-12, one more simple, FUN social challenge will be presented. When you complete and share on social using #ATBUp, @atbfinancial will donate $1 to @mentalhealthab!

I’ll be heading up two challenges—and including Moses 🐶 and Monroe 🐶. I hope you’ll join me! 😊💛
