Honey Spritz Cookies for Halloween (or Any Day)-and a bloggy blooper

I pulled the page for these Honey Spritz Cookies out of the December 2012 edition of Food Network Magazine. It took a while, but I knew I'd get around to trying the recipe! Buttery with a hint of honey, they stuck nicely to the cookie sheet, and as you'll see below they did really hold their shape well for pressed cookies. This is a nice little recipe to tuck away for a cool fall baking day:@)

I found the spider sprinkles leftover and marked down after Halloween at Walmart last year. So for pennies I have a cute little ~easily decorated~ cookie for Halloween:@) And of course this recipe would be great any time of year using a different disc. Ya gotta love spritz folks!!!

My Bloggy Blooper: Now, I may be the only person in the world that didn't know this but, these little candy sprinkles can't be baked... Nope, they can't. I added the spiders to all of my cookies that had the most detail and really showed the spider web design well... And the spiders ~a la Wicked Witch of the West~ melted-huh??? So they are best sprinkled on cupcakes or you can stick them onto the cookies after baking with a dab of icing or melted chocolate.

The spider web is part of Oxo's Fall Cookie Discs, love all of the cute shapes... 

Look at that turkey:@)
