Honey Cookies

So for Mutal next Saturday our Young Men And Young Women Group are going on a mini trek since Pioneer Day's coming up. The Beehives are supposed to bring a pioneer treat. At first I was like, what does that mean? Then I thought well they didn't have a lot of sugar but they had honey!! So I looked through my ever-overflowing recipe book and found my favorite Honey Cookies! It was perfect! So I decided to share this yummy recipe with you all:
Honey Cookies
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups shortning
2 cups sugar
Mix, then add the following ingredients:
4 cups flour              3 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt              1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
Roll into balls and dip in sugar. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. When light brown and still puffy take out of oven and let cool slightly on the pan. Enjoy and Happy Pioneer Day!!!!!
With Luv,
Lauren
