This recipe is sweetly nostalgic, but also designed to be incredibly versatile! To make a gluten-free variation, just use Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour instead of all-purpose flour. To make a vegan variation, use vegan butter, opt for granulated cane sugar instead of honey, and add 1/2 cup melted coconut oil instead of egg.

Start the cookies. Using an electric mixer, cream together butter and honey. Add vanilla and egg. In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder.
Slowly add dry mixture to butter mixture until dough is well combined and uniform. Refrigerate dough 30-60 minutes, until firm.
Preheat oven to 300°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ¼” thick and cut into shapes. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
After baking, cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Let cool completely before icing.
To make the icing, stir icing ingredients to combine, adding color if desired. Frost and serve, or give as gifts!
