Cookies with Honey Recipe: Overview Honey Benefits

Honey is an amazingly diverse ingredient to use in some many recipes.
It is convenient and can quickly be added to drinks, teas, desserts, main courses, and taken completely on its own!
A strong antimicrobial, honey has been used for centuries in the soothing and healing of upper respiratory illness, common head colds, sore throats, G.I. issues, and to clear up bacterial infections. In combination with other herbal medicines, honey is the perfect base to house these amazing benefits.
(Now, as a side note, IF you wanted to make the below recipe more herbal, you could consider one of these two amazing herbs to compliment the cookies.)
Anise Hyssop
This vibrant shrub is packed full of wonderful benefits. In ancient cultures, hyssop was highly regarded as a “cure-all” herb! Currently, it is widely used as a tonic as well as calming effects. It can help clear out thick mucus during an upper respiratory infection. As a sedative, it is wonderful to use to battle asthma.
Lemon Verbena
Lemon Verbena shares many similar qualities with its cousin herb- lemon balm. You can click here to check out the featured article we did on the beautiful lemon balm! Verbena contains a strong volatile oil that offers calming effects on the digestive system. Along with sedative properties, its tonic effect can help assist the occasional seasonal blues and mild depression.
(or, for all the chocolate lovers out there?)

Cookies with Honey Recipe Prep
Herbalist Tip: If you live in a region where your honey crystalizes often and easily, it is helpful to make a double broiler system and warm up your honey on low heat, 30-60 minutes prior to starting ingredients mixing.
