Hey Helen. Here is how to make those cookies.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups butter (about 450g)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups standard flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • Some honey. I used manuka.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Mix butter and brown sugar until you can't tell the difference.
  3. Add 2-3 spoons of honey.
  4. Add 3 to 3 3/4 cups flour. Mix well.
  5. get your hands dirty and mush it all together to make dough. mix it all up. yes. yesssss.
  6. make them into shapes. not too thick but not too thin so that they don't burn so easy.
  7. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for about 20 minutes. or, just keep an eye on them until they look like they are cooked and smell like they are done, and are not a ridiculously dark burnt brown.
  8. Take them out to cool. They will harden when they are colder.
YAY YOU NOW HAVE COOKIEZ

The icing is just 1 or 2 cup icing sugar + 50g butter mix well, and we added some orange essence (about 1/2 a cap) and then add some water, not too much but enough so that you get a nice thick mixture. once you spread it on teh cookies if it's a little bit gloopy you can put in the fridge to firm up the icingz k
