Grandma Joan's Honey Snaps

from the Slaterville Cookbook

Makes 4 dozen cookies.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup shortening 
  • 1 cup sugar, plus extra for rolling the cookies 
  • 1 unbeaten egg 
  • 1/4 cup honey 
  • 2 cups flour 
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • 2 tsp baking soda 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
Directions 

Preheat oven to 350. Cream 1 cup sugar, shortening, egg, and honey. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Combine creamed mixture and dry ingredients well. Form teaspoons of dough into balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Drop on ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Do not flatten balls. They flatten as they bake. We like to use this dough for children to shape like clay and design their own special cookies. They do spread as they bake so allow for that when you shape them.
