COOKIE DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350º
Beat the sugar and butter on high until fluffy, between 7 - 8 ½ minutes.
Scrape beans from 2 vanilla bean pods and set aside.
Beat together honey, egg, egg yolk, vanilla beans and extract.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder.
Then add in the rest of the beaten ingredients and mix well. You should have a dough-consistency.
Sprinkle a cutting board or other clean area with powdered sugar. (No flour)
Roll out dough and but into your holiday shapes.
Bake on parchment paper after putting in the freezer for about 6 minutes, so they get more solid.
Bake at 350º for 9-11 minutes and cool on wire rack.
FROSTING DIRECTIONS
Scrape the beans from the vanilla bean pod and set aside.
Beat the honey, vanilla plus vanilla beans and then beat in half of the powdered sugar.
Beat in the half and half.
Combine this with the powdered sugar and beat until well.
After cutting the cold butter into small pieces, be sure to add it a little bit at a time, mixing on high speed with a whisk attachment or by hand.
Beat on high speed for 9 minutes, or until it looks fluffy.
Decorate your holiday cookies and add sprinkles or other edible decorations and enjoy!
