Oh, Honey

I had some leftover honey from work and decided to make something sweet to celebrate the mother's in my life - my wonderful mom and my sister, the wonderful mother to my 1-1/2 nieces. I followed this up the next week with easy cookies. Thank you bees!

Honey Oatmeal Cookies
Oatmeal Cookies - These were so good and so easy to make! I will definitely be making these again! Makes 2 dozen.

3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup Splenda
1/3 cup honey
2 egg
2 tablespoon water
1 cup whole wheat flour (all-purpouse is good too)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups rolled oats (aka oatmeal)
1 cup cranberries (also use chopped dates, raisins, nuts and/or chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray
2. Mix together the butter, applesauce, sugar, honey, eggs and water thoroughly.
3. Sift together the dry ingredients then stir in the oats.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix. Add any additional ingredients you've chosen.
5. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Strawberry Honey Muffins
I also made strawberry honey muffins and a honey cake but I can't find my recipe notes. I'll update this post when I clean off my counter and find them :)
