Favorite Honey Bars by Vanna M.

I know I posted 2 cookies on the same day, but I have a big family and the kids take a cookie every day in their lunch, so we eat them quick.  I actually made the other cookies a few weeks ago and I decided to make these because they sounded easy.  Only, my honey had gone to sugar.  I didn't want to wait, so I melted it quick and put it in melted.  It seemed to work fine.  It was definitely easier to measure.

The cookies came out chewy and moist, you can definitely taste the honey, but they are missing something.  I don't know if they need chocolate chips or cinnamon or what.  They are almost really good.  I had some leftover penoche frosting in the fridge, so I tried that, and it isn't the answer.  I gave them 2.5 stars because they have definite potential, but they need some experimentation.
