I would rate this 4 1\/2 stars. This is a tasty cookie, and refrigerating the dough for a few hours, made certain that they did not flatten out.

I made them to be part of holiday cookie plates, but considered tossing them since I don\u2019t believe in gifting food I don\u2019t like. \u00a0I did, however, include them, and was quite surprised they were such a hit with my co-workers and doctor, who would enthusiastically rank these as a 5 star cookie. \nIf you are looking for a super sweet chewy honey cookie you will probably like these.
