Recipes Cuisine European German Old German Honey Cookies 4.2 (182) 157 Reviews 11 Photos I got this recipe for honey cookies from my grandmother who got it from her grandmother. She had to translate it and then figure out the measurements. The original recipe called for "enough flour to make a dough." Thankfully grandma knew what kind of dough.
