Step 3

Add the honey and the sugar; stir until sugar is dissolved.

Step 4

Step 5

Portion the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon portions. Roll into balls and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space around each cookie.

With the back of a fork, press a cross pattern into each cookie, flattening the dough to roughly 3/8 of an inch.

Step 7

Top each cookie with a scant sprinkle of sanding sugar.

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
