Well speaking of ‘Tis the Season, we have yet another video out from our Yahoo! Tis the Season web series we’ve been shooting for the past month. As much as we love the tradition of spending entire days baking Christmas cookies, let’s be honest, most of us just don’t have the time for such shenanigans! Besides, I’m pretty sure even Santa has Type II Diabetes by now... In this episode we tell you how to make quick and easy dessert recipes that will have your guests coming back for seconds and thirds!
Our Christmas Cookie of the Year is awarded to our “Honey Thyme Lace Cookies”. A little secret? We like to sprinkle them with a little freshly cracked black pepper and dust with sugar to look like freshly frosted snow flakes. These cookies are so delicate and elegant, yet so unbelievably delicious, they will be a favorite among friends and family of all ages! We haven’t even mentioned the best part yet. Not ONLY are they super quick to make, but they don’t have a traditional “cookie dough”, making the clean-up super easy (which might or might not be how I choose recipes when cooking in my free time).
INGREDIENTS:
2 tbps unsalted butter
2 tbps brown sugar
2 tbps honey
2 tsp chopped thyme (fresh)
2 tsp orange zest
pinch of salt
couple twists of black pepper
one tsp vanilla
2 tbps flour
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, put aside.
Melt butter, brown sugar and honey in a small pot until bubbling. Turn off heat.
Add thyme, orange zest, salt, and vanilla; stir. Whisk in flour. Spoon the batter onto the baking sheet into nickel-sized circles. Cookies should be three inches apart from each other on the baking sheet. Add one twist of black pepper on top of each cookie.
Bake in oven at 375 degrees for five to six minutes.
Optional: Add colored sugar or granulated sugar before cookies cool.
Let cookies cool before removing from parchment.
