Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Honey
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1 Eggs
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Warm the honey, sugar, and butter until melted; stir in the baking soda and watch it foam.
2. Cool to lukewarm, whisk in the egg, then fold in the flour and cinnamon into a soft dough.
3. Rest the dough 20 minutes; it firms as the flour hydrates.
4. Roll half-inch thick and cut rounds; bake at 350 degrees 12 minutes until just set — they harden as they cool.
5. Cool completely, then dip the tops in a thick powdered-sugar glaze.
6. Store airtight; pryaniki soften over two days into the perfect tea-dunking cookie.
