Honey Cookies for Rosh HaShanah RECIPE
Symbol of all things sweet and good,
honey is part of many Rosh HaShanah recipes. Here at Green Prophet, we use only
chemical-free honey.
Our popular honey cake is based on a traditional recipe, and so are these honey
cookies. German immigrants brought the recipe to Israel in the nation’s early
years, and now all ethnic groups regard them as standard Rosh Hashanah fare.
Kids especially love these cookies, maybe because they fit into the hand
comfortably and can be eaten on the run.
