These are good & chewy & VERY Sweet!

In large pot, boil honey & sugar, until sugar is dissolved. Measure the
rest of the ingredients and mix into the honey sugar mixture. Refrigerate
for 3 days.

Divide dough into thirds. With floured hands, press onto greased cookie
sheet to 1/4" thick. Press to whithin 1" of edge of sheet. Bake on middle
rack of preheated 350! oven for 2022 minutes or until edges begin to brown
and center springs back from light tough.

Upon removing, invert onto a cutting board, and cut in 1" x 2" strips.
Drizzle glaze over cookies.

For glaze, I combine 2 cup powdered sugar with enough milk to make it of
drizzling consistency (about 46 T) and a dash of lemon, orange or almond
extract, or all three if I'm in the mood for flavor!
