Honeycomb Cookies

yields: about 50 cookies (depending on size)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
150g butter
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon cinnamon

For coating:
Raw marzipan (can also be fondant)
Yellow food coloring

Instructions:

In the bowl of an electric mixer beat together sugar and butter.
Add egg, honey and baking soda and and stir.
3. Add flour, salt and cinnamon, and mix only until combined.
4. Pour the dough into a plat on a plastic wrap, and leave for about 1 hour in the refrigerator.
5. Heat the oven to 180 degrees.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator, roll to a thickness of about half a cm (preferably on floured baking paper),cut into hexagons using sharp knife or a cookie cutter, and place in a baking pan lined with baking paper.
7. Bake for about 10 minutes until the cookies become golden. Let cool.
