This recipe was a total disaster, not only did I waste a whole jar of honey, but I now will have to spend hours cleaning my oven as the mixture completely overflowed all over the sides of the tray. On the up-side; the mixture itself tasted devine! - 31 Jul 2012
I changed some of the ingredients by adding some lemon juice, oats and more honey, but the result was really good. However, the actual dough was initially very runny and had to almost double the amount of flour - is it normal for it to be that runny or was I mistaken in thinking it should be stiffer? Anyways, the result tasted really good! Thumbs up to this recipe. - 04 Jul 2011
nice recipe, makes nice simple cookies and will make up a range of sizes with no need for cooking time alterations. This will make up one gigantic batch so make sure you have plenty of storage room - I ran out of tupperwares! Soft, light and the taste of honey is subtle which I liked and nice and easy to make. - 29 Jun 2011
