Pryaniki are rustic Honey Cookies made with sour cream, butter, flour and lots of honey. Just like my babushka made. Easy to make, especially popular during the holidays, they're my New Years and Christmas cookies. Recipe from Petersfoodadventures.com

1 ½ cupshoney

1 ½ cupssugar

6 cupsflour

3 ½ teaspoonsbaking powder

Glaze

3 cupsicing sugar

3egg whites

Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together the eggs and the sugar.

Step 2

Mix in sour cream, honey and softened butter.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder together. Mix in the flour mixture slowly to the honey mixture until fully incorporated together.

Step 4

Refrigerate overnight to allow the dough to firm up together. If in a rush, refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon, spoon out a tablespoon size piece of dough into your lightly floured hands. Roll each piece into a ball and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and bake for 13-15 minutes.

Step 7

Finish baking and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Step 8

In a bowl, whisk together the icing sugar and egg whites together. There are 3 ways to proceed, choose the one method which suits you best!

Icing dip method

Step 9

Dip the cookies fully into the glaze and place on a baking rack to drip dry the excess icing sugar until fully dry. You will need extra icing glaze if using this method.

icing brush method

Step 10

Using a pastry brush, brush the top side until completely covered in the icing sugar glaze. When it dries, brush the underside of the cookie. I rarely return to ice the underside of the cookies!

icing bowl method

Step 11

Place the cookies in a large mixing bowl, then add the icing sugar mixture on top of them. Using your hands, mix it all together coating each cookie. This doesn't look as pretty as the other methods, but very practical and quick.
