This is the recipe for delicious cookies with festive spices, honey and glowing crystals. They are soft in the inside and a bit crunchy on the outside when they are fresh. But they do get softer with time.

The picture really doesn’t do them justice, because you can’t see the glitter, but I assure you, it is there. They look so much better in real life. They sparkle nicely as we garnished them with sugar. I love that these cookies are really aromatic and these are very special and perfect for the upcoming holidays.

I wish you pleasant baking time.
