    2 years ago when I was going through the hardest time of my life, my therapist recommended me to try out new hobbies. Thats when i considered baking and came across your channel. Honestly this was a huge part of my recovery, watching and learning from your videos and trying your recipes one after another at least 4 times a week kept me busy and made me like life a bit more. Even now that Im in a better place, I still always try all your recipes and every notification from you brings me to a happy place, a place of comfort. So thank you so much John for having such an impact on my life, thank you for making me realize how much joy I get from baking. Now I'm planning to professionally go into the culinary field and I've never felt better before about anything else ! Lots of love to you, I'll always be grateful ❤

    1 16 oz jar of local honey & 1 10/12 oz bag of fresh whole cranberries ( Take a toothpick and poke one hole into each cranberry) place both ingredients in a quart jar, loosely covered & leave on kitchen counter for 3/4 days. Then scoop out the cranberries, place in separate glass jar. Put both in the fridge. Tada!! Honey infused with cranberries. To put in whatever you use honey for but what a little splash of extra flavor. And then, you have those lovely fermented cranberries for all sorts of Yummies.

    Correct! Melomakarona are traditional Christmas cookies in Greece, but it’s unsweetened cookies that that we dip into syrup made of honey, so they get soft, moist and sweet.

    I'm in Australia and here we typically eat crunchy biscuits rather than soft cookies. With 'cookie' recipes that I like the sound of like this one, I often try to "crisp them up" with a second bake after they cool from the first bake (the word biscuit means 'to cook twice'). It works well more often than not😀. Can't wait to try it with this recipe.

    John, hopefully spelled correctly 😅 I just wanted to tell you that you page has brought me so much peace and joy into my life.
    I found your page when I was going through one of the toughest seasons of my life and decided to give baking a try since I worked from home, and sold my car so I quite literally had nothing new to do or keep life exciting. After a few recipes and many burned cookies an unexpected hobby turned into a small business.
    I bought a tricycle, to went store to store selling my cookies. I’ve traveled states and took the business with me to focus on mental health and move back in with family after 5 years being of on my own.
    This has been a constant in helping me find roots in my life again, teaching me pride in my work, and pouring joy into peoples hearts the way I’ve always wanted to. It truly feeds my soul.
    I’ve altered the recipes all a bit but, the Cream Cheese cookies are my best sellers. I’d love to find a way to send you some when I get figure out the shipping side of things figured out. ❤
    Thank you for keeping this page alive, just thank you.

    Many years ago, Mo Rocco did a show on FoodNetwork, I think it was called My Grandmother's Ravioli. There was a grandmother who made honey cookies, and I had to try the recipe. They quickly became my daughter's favorite. They're so simply delicious that they're dangerous for me. I can't stop eating them until they're gone! I add about half a teaspoon of cinnamon. ❤

    My Mother is Austrian and is in my opinion, the world’s best baker/pastry chef. :) Honey is a staple when she bakes and adds a flavor and texture that you can’t get from anything else. Her Lebkuchen, Nut and Poppy Seed Rolls are some of my family’s favorites.

    What a great story about your beehive, that sounds so incredible to experience honey and the cycles of nature that way! I’ve experimented a lot with honey years ago, I love to pair them with oats so the crispy roasted taste of the oats contrasts well with the salt and honey. Those Arab inspired versions sound simply incredibly and you’re not wrong about it! I’ve seen so many different honey cookies and they’re all delicious! Cheers

    You can really tell that's not supermarket honey. It's a bit grainy looking, but I bet it tastes a lot better. FYI, if you use a varietal honey, like say orange blossom, it'll taste more like the plant it comes from, like oranges in my example.
