These soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are the perfect cookies to snack on during a long Rosh Hashana afternoon or anytime. Rolling each cookie in the palm of your hand before baking will give it a really nice look, and is a great activity for the kids! The honey flavor is not overbearing, and the dough is very easy to work with.

These came out perfect..
And I didn’t refrigerate them. Dough was perfect consistency. I baked them for much less time than indicated.
These are delicious!
Margerine Use melted or room temperature margerine?
Not melted. just regular margarine.
I would use room-temperature margarine.
Made these cookies to hand out to family and friends for Rosh Hashana and they were a big hit! Got so many compliments. P.s. I used the glaze from a different honey cookie recipe in Kosher.com on this cookie and it was so delicious! Glaze recipe linked here. https://app.www.kosher.com/C5ExT1WntWCBc9Fy7
