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.

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
