Twelve days of cookies: Honey Joys

Welcome to Day 10 of

The Twelve Days of Cookies!

From December 1-12th I’ll post a new cookie (or holiday treat) recipe every day – inspiration for your holiday entertaining or cookie exchanges!

The recipes I’m sharing are small batch (each recipe makes 1-dozen) that are simple to prepare and that use everyday ingredients and equipment (hint, a small loaf tin and electric hand beaters are your friends for so many of these recipes!) so hopefully you’ll be able to whip up any of these on a whim.

Ok so these are not technically a festive sweet, but they are the stuff of Australian childhood birthday parties and are so much fun to make and eat that I couldn’t NOT include them in this lineup! Honey Joys only contain a few (sweet) ingredients and are perfect as is, although you could totally fancy them up by adding dried fruits and nuts to the mix for a pop of colour!

1. Preheat the oven to 300˚F. Place 12 cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
2. Melt the butter, sugar and honey over medium heat in a small pot.
3. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour over the cornflakes and use a rubber spatula to mix well to combine. Make sure all the dry cereal is well-coated.

Notes

These are wonderful as they are but you could definitely add in some dried fruit and nut/ coconut if you like!

How do you enjoy your Honey Joys – plain or with add-ins?

For the holidays, you could add some pistachios/ pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries or even glacé cherries to make them festive. A little coconut is nice too!
