Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and brown sugar until they are pale and creamy. We use brown sugar in this recipe for flavour, texture and colour. Add honey - any regular store bought honey will do - and one egg yolk. They're a soft cookie sort of in the way gingerbread is soft. Lightly honey-flavoured and perfect for dunking in some hot chocolate or tea.
