Instructions: Preheat oven to 325F.

In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients, in order, one at a time, blending well after each addition. The dough will be thick (the consistency of cold Play Doh). Sprinkle 1/4 cup flour on a work surface. Dump dough on top & sprinkle with enough flour to keep it from sticking to your rolling pin.

Roll flat to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters & place on a cookie sheet thats been covered with wax paper. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Variations:
For a heartier taste & darker cookie, use raw honey, sorghum or blackstrap molasses instead of regular honey. The texture of the cookie can be changed by using unbleached flour or a combination of whole wheat pastry flour & unbleached white flour.

Cookie Bars:
Add some chopped dates & golden raisins to the batter. Spread into a sheet pan thats been lightly coated with vegetable oil cooking spray & dusted with flour. Bake 30 minutes.

Ginger Cookies:
Add 1 tablespoon ground ginger or grated fresh ginger to the dough. The dough holds up well enough to make gingerbread people or houses.

Cinnamon Cookies:
Add 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon & 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves to the dough.

Chocolate Cookies:
Cut the flour by 1/2 cup. Add 1/2 cup cocoa & 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. (With the addition of cocoa, the fat free serving size is cut to 4 cookies.)
