3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 Tb milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tb orange juice

Method/Steps
Dough
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl until well blended.
2. In a separate bowl, beat butter, honey and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, and beat until completely incorporated. Add the milk, vanilla and flour mixture. Beat for 1 minute. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into an S, or roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter. Place cookies on a baking sheet, and bake for about 12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven, brush with the glaze, then continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, until golden.

In a small bowl, combine honey and orange juice. Stir until smooth; set aside.
