*DIYA'S SIMPLE HONEY CINNAMON COOKIES*

These Super Simple Honey Cinnamon Cookies are quick, easy and delicious. A great cookie recipe with a nice cinnamon flavor. The only thing missing is a cup of tea… or coffee.

HOW TO MAKE Honey Cinnamon Cookies:

We are going to need two mixing bowls.

In the first mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and the cinnamon. Set it aside for now.

In another large bowl, whisk the eggs.

Add the sugar and continue to whisk until well combined and slightly thickened.
Whisk in the oil and the honey.

Finally, add the sifted dry ingredients and mix with wooden spoon until well combined.

Scoop dough with medium sized cookie scooper and roll each into a smooth ball or in an elongated shape. Place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Continue to roll until all of the dough is used. You should be able to make about 3½ dozen cookies. Finally, brush cookies with egg wash.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until firm to the touch.

Transfer to wire racks to cool completely and resist the temptation to eat more than one :)
