Can you go into Rosh Hashanah without a jar of honey cookies?! These cookies are the perfect mix of crunchy outside, soft center, and all the delicious spices reminiscent of fall. They’re also super simple to make. Eat them straight out of the oven or jazz them up a bit with a drizzle of honey-flavored frosting. These cookies can even be tweaked to look like little apples for extra cute bonus points!
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup Manischewitz Honey
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 and 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Allspice
1 and 1/2 tablespoons pareve milk, such as Gefen Almond Milk
1 and 1/2 tablespoons Manischewitz Honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat oil, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until nice and creamy.
Whisk together the dry ingredients and slowly incorporate into the batter. Mix together until a dough is formed.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop dough out onto a cookie sheet, placing the cookies about one inch (two and a half centimeters) apart to allow for spreading. Bake for 10 minutes.
Combine frosting ingredients in a small bowl. Allow cookies to cool and drizzle with frosting.
Yields 4 dozen cookies

What did you use for the leaves?
Hi Lisi,
In the video of this recipe those leaves are certainly a nice touch!
These are fake decorative leaves. Something like this could work (just cut off the stem):

Do I have to make the frosting or is it good without?
Hi Tamar,
You can omit the frosting if you’d like. These are delicious either way!

Since we have egg allergies, we put water instead of the egg and it also came out great!
can they be frozen?
The recipe states that is freezes well. I would not freeze with the glaze because I find the glaze does not come out the same as fresh. I would add the glaze after they are defrosted.
Made these for Rosh Hashana as guests and they were a huge hit with hosts! Didn’t have allspice so substituted with a bit more cinnamon and some salt to balance out the sweetness. 10 out of 10 for sure!
thank you for the recipe absolutely delicious. Big hit!
How do you make homemade vanilla extract please. (see note above)
Here is a recipe https://www.kosher.com/recipe/vanilla-extract-462
Thank You!
delicious, thanks!
Just tried these for Rosh Hashana, and they were AMAZING. The cinnamon and nutmeg give a nice surprise hint of autumn. I think I would try making the frosting with some maple syrup instead of honey, just to add to the kick. Thanks!
