  • teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 0.3 cup honey 
  • 0.8 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 0.1 teaspoon salt 
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 

Equipment

Directions

  1. Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add brown sugar and honey, beating well.
  2. Add egg and vanilla; beat well.
  3. Combine flours, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating just until blended. Divide dough into four portions; shape each portion into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill dough at least 1 hour.
  4. Working with one portion of dough at a time, roll dough to 1/8" thickness on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Cut with a 3" star-shaped cookie cutter.
  6. Place cutouts on lightly greased cookie sheets. Using a plastic drinking straw, make a hole in center of each star, and twist the straw to remove tiny piece of dough.
  7. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned. Cool slightly on cookie sheets; remove to wire racks, and cool completely. Repeat procedure with remaining portions of dough.
  8. Combine powdered sugar and cinnamon in a large zip-top bag; seal and toss to combine.
  9. Add cookies to bag, about 5 at a time, and shake gently to coat.
  10. Remove coated cookies from bag, and repeat procedure with remaining cookies. String cookies onto raffia or ribbon, if desired.
