A few days ago, I called you "Duvshaniyot" which is a Hebrew name for honey cookies and one of the readers complained, that now she miss the flavor of those cookies
So I rolled up my sleeves and set out to find you a recipe for the legendary honey cookies
Trully the best cookies out there and with zero effort.
My kids claim that the cookies remind them of Christmas cookies at Christmas.
The magic of the cookies is that it is tastier when the cookies actually age.
Their texture become moist and the passing time only compliments them.
I glazed the cookies with powdered sugar and lemon zest to contrast their sweetness.
"Duvshaniyot" or not to be
Ingredients
150 grams of honey, about 1/3 of a Cup
3/4 Cup vegetable oil
1 egg
3/4 Cup 150 grams of sugar
3 Cups, 350 grams of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon Hawaij Cafe (option)
for coating
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice
Method of preparation
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the liquids with a hand mixer. Honey, oil, eggs and sugar.
In another bowl mix well, flour with spices. Add the flour to the bowl with the liquids and mix with a hand mixer until a dough forms.
Put a spoon in oil or dip it in water (this will help the dough to slide off the spoon). With the spoon, scoop dough into it. (The spoon keeps an equal amount of dough)
Roll the dough with your hands and place in pan. Keep spaces between balls of dough.
Put pan in oven for 7-8 minutes or until the cookie is puffed up and the bottom of the cookie is brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies cool completely (at least half an hour).
Prepare the glaze. Put powdered sugar in a medium bowl. and add a teaspoon or two of lemon juice. It will look like it won't mix but you will be surprised.
mix well. You should get a texture of past.
Dip the cookie face down in the glaze and get rid of excess.
Place the cookie on a wire rack or baking sheet, but allow the glaze to harden completely. I would give the glaze at least half an hour to harden.
This is it. Your perfect cookies for Rosh Hashanah.
