The Best Cinnamon Cookies
Okay, so this is hands down the best cookie I ever had in my life! It's a cinnamon cookie so that gives it a bonus point since I'm a huge fan of cinnamon. But other than that this cookie is so crumbly and comes with the most amazing filling. That of whipped honey butter!
Haven't tried whipped honey butter yet? Oh, you don't know what you're missing! And it's so easy to make. You don't have to do anything really. Your electric mixer will do it all for you. You simply add the ingredients to the bowl.
Another good thing with whipped honey butter is that it can be used in so many ways. Like a buttercream frosting (very stable and goes well with everything), like a cake and cookie filling, or simply as a spread on your bread or morning toast. And now that I'm thinking of it, I'm gonna give it a go on adding it to that sweet Easter bread I made.

A Healthier, Sugar-Free Cookie Recipe
Didn't I tell you yet? These cookies are completely sugar-free. They're made using honey as a sweetener which goes perfectly with cinnamon. And trust me, you won't be able to tell the difference between this sugar-free cookie and one that contains sugar. They're as sweet as they should be and a bit healthier.

No Dough Rolling
What I really hate when making tarts and cookies is having to roll that sticky dough. Especially when making cookies where you cut and roll the leftover dough again, and cut and roll the leftover dough again, and I'm tired just thinking about it... Not to mention, they turn out to be the one thicker than the other, which leads to unevenly baked cookies.
Solution? Easy peasy! Shape the dough into a long log, wrap in parchment paper like a candy, secure it with some aluminum foil and refrigerate. Once the dough comes out cold and firm, cut it into slices with a sharp knife. So easy and all in one go. And the best thing about this? You can actually see how thick you cut the cookies.
