Serving & Storage
To serve – Serve at room temperature once the honey topping has set and is glossy. These are perfect with tea or as a small dessert after dinner.
To store – Store in a single layer until the topping firms, then layer with parchment in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Alternatively, freeze cookies in layers with parchment for up to 2 months. The topping may be slightly less crisp after thawing but still delicious.
