Honey Bee Cookies

Kitchen Notes

I have a confession to make: I'm a batter eater. That's right.  Cookie dough, cake mix, brownie mix; you name it- I most often love the raw product better than when it's baked.

While munching on our Honey Bee Cookies after they were baked (it's correct to assume I had a spoonful of batter while waiting), Tim asked me if I preferred the raw mix or the actual cookie. This was a tough call to make, as both products are really good. After mulling it around for a bit I've come to a conclusion: what I really want is a honey cookie, topped with honey batter- like icing. My heart skips a beat just thinking about it.
