I vote we start with cookies for breakfast

What’s that, you say? Cookies for breakfast? Whoever thought of that must be smart! These breakfast cookies are almost good for you. Well, better for you than the non-breakfast kind. My favorite way to enjoy them is with a nice oat milk latte or an iced cold latte.

Rolling out sugar cookies for national sugar cookie dayBaking tip: One great way to have freshly baked cookies on hand is to roll the dough into balls and freeze them in an airtight container. This way, you can quickly and easily throw a few onto a baking sheet and pop them in the oven whenever you want a plate of freshly baked cookies! Our cookie recipes featured here are made with Eastern Shore Honey, nature’s sweetener.

Sally's Baking Addiction Best Sugar Cookie Recipe pink heart sprinkled icing on sugar cookie on green plate

Cut-out sugar cookies are so temperamental.

Lucky for us, Sally of Sally’s Baking Addiction mastered the perfect recipe. After months of trial and error, Sally created a soft-centered, slightly crisp-edged roll-out sugar cookie. A cookie that keeps its cookie-cutter shape in the oven, without any crazy ingredients, is accessible and approachable for everyone.

Oatmeal Cookies come to life with our Spring Honey.

We love finding and developing unique recipes to share with our friends. These Oatmeal Cookies are full of dried fruit and nuts. Feel free to switch out and blend in whatever dried fruit you like.

Vegan Sugar Cookies? Why YES!

These vegan sugar cookies by our friend Marly Beelman of Namely Marly are also unique and even better for you than cookies loaded with butter! Ok, maybe not that much better for you, but guilt-free.

Here’s a little Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie from us too!

That’s Latte in a Cookie

These Chai Tea Cookies are a new twist on the classic sugar cookie-they have a punch of gingerbread spices! We chose to use our Wildflower Honey from the eastern shore in place of sugar, though you can choose any of our honey for this recipe.

Making and eating cookies do not require a special occasion and don’t take long to whip up. Find the recipe that is easiest and most enjoyable for you!

If you decide to make any of these cookies, take a photo and share them with us using #beeinspired on Instagram. We love seeing your photos!
