Recipe Honey Cookies
From my Father's side of the family. absolutely delightful and unique. A big family favorite and regularly requested by friends... (Gotta love that 1/2 teaspoon of warm water!)
1/2 C. Butter
1/2 C. Sugar
1/2 C. Honey
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t warm water
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t ground cardamom ( I've been known to use up to 1 t)
2 C flour
Cream butter, sugar and honey. Add soda and water. Mix in dry ingredients.
Use a spritz press ( I do! You should too!) or flatten into 1 1/2" rounds.
8-10 min at 375 degrees or until light brown on bottom.

Song Simple Turn of Phrase (Key of C)
Well, I'm not much to look at
My belly gets in the way
Of you seeing all my attractions
Lined up like a wildcat play
And I know I'm not the most successful
Man you'll meet around town
But darlin' just like Bozo
I'm gonna turn your frown upside down
Maybe I'm amazed
I could turn your heart around
With a simple turn of phrase
Like the tears of a clown
With just a chance when you looked in my eyes
You ordered me up like a side of fries
And now we're living the good old days
Because of a simple turn of phrase
Now I am not a wordsmith
Though my feet are Longfellows you know
And scrabble ain't my cup of tea
I'm more stop than I am go
But all it took for you to give me a look
Was a quick shot reused rhyme
I'm a simple man with a simple plan
And I'm leaving my eraser behind
Maybe I'm amazed
I could turn your heart around
With a simple turn of phrase
Like the tears of a clown
With just a chance when you looked in my eyes
You ordered me up like a side of fries
And now we're living the good old days
Because of a simple turn of phrase
Well, I'm not much to look at
My belly gets in the way
Of you seeing all my attractions
Lined up like a wildcat play
And I know I'm not the most successful
Man you'll meet around town
But darlin' just like Bozo
I'm gonna turn your frown upside down
Maybe I'm amazed
I could turn your heart around
With a simple turn of phrase
Like the tears of a clown
With just a chance when you looked in my eyes
You ordered me up like a side of fries
And now we're living the good old days
Because of a simple turn of phrase
Now I am not a wordsmith
Though my feet are Longfellows you know
And scrabble ain't my cup of tea
I'm more stop than I am go
But all it took for you to give me a look
Was a quick shot reused rhyme
I'm a simple man with a simple plan
And I'm leaving my eraser behind
Maybe I'm amazed
I could turn your heart around
