Honey Cinnamon Shortbread Cookies
Recipes
You could always make cookies on a baking sheet, you know, like you're supposed to.
But if you're really cool and just a little bit inventive, you realize that you can make perfectly round, bite-sized cookies in a muffin tin by packing the dough 1/2 inch thick in each one.
These muffin-tin honey cinnamon shortbread cookies are seriously amazing. You can make them with just a few simple ingredients — including raw & unfiltered Local Hive Honey. So, they're basically perfect for whipping up on a lazy spring weekend.
But honestly? We don't need a reason to make honey desserts at home. We're always finding new ways to bake with honey.
Try them with our naturally citrus-tinged Local Hive Florida honey blend, or choose from one of the other recommended honeys below👇
