You’ll never make another biscuit for a celebration again!
These cookies first came into my life when I was a bridesmaid for one of my best friends Lauren; for her bridal shower we put together a recipe book from all of the people there and family members.
Lauren’s Mum gave me the “Grandma’s Honey Biscuit” recipe to add to the book and I thought they sounded great so I took a copy of the recipe for myself!
I have used these biscuits for baby showers, birthdays and every Christmas since it’s been in my life. They work well with both fondant and royal icing and are so quick and easy to make.
I have made a variation of coconut sugar instead of white sugar so if you prefer to be traditional then go for it!

There’s even a healthy freezable ginger bread man recipe included!
So from Lauren’s Grandma and myself to you, I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does!
