TWD: Honey Wheat Cookies

I'm back with TWD! Sorry I skipped out on Dorie's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies last week. I heard they were good, and I may get around to making them at some point in the future. I did make her All-Occasion Sugar Cookies on February 11th, so I thought that might be good for our cookie baking in that week. I don't know that I'll use that sugar cookie recipe again, as I like the one I got from my mom who got it from her friend, Sue Shumway, much better (much, much better). Enough about the past...let's talk about how I did participate this week!

Michelle of flourchild is the Tuesdays with Dorie host for this week. She chose the recipe for the Honey Wheat Cookies. I made these Monday night for our Family Home Evening treat. Jacob was very excited when he found the dough chilling in the fridge. I don't think he knew it was for cookies, but he knew it would be good and so he kept asking me for "treeeat! treeeeat!" until I convinced him we better wait until we could share the treats with Dad.

These cookies have an interesting flavor - they contain wheat germ, lemon zest (I used lemon juice instead so I wouldn't have to go to the store), and honey, as well as other regular cookie ingredients. I ran out of regular unsalted butter last week so I used a ICBINB baking stick instead, so the cookies might be even better if real butter and lemon zest are used.

These are cute, tasty little cookies. I enjoyed the simplicity of the recipe and the outcome was good enough to encourage making these again! Good choice, Michelle! Check out her blog for the recipe.
