Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Using an electric mixer beat together the first 5 ingredients until well combined. Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Beat. Add oats and cranberries. Beat until just combined. Stir in walnuts.
Drop by tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes until edges are just brown. Cookies will be moist in center and therefore still delicate when hot. Remove carefully to a rack to cool.
Frosting:
Mix ingredients until well blended. Drizzle over cookies or spoon frosting into a small ziplock bag. Cut a very small hole in one corner. Press bag to pipe frosting in a zigzag pattern on top of cookies.
Yields: 3 dozen
