Directions
In a small pot over medium heat, combine honey, margarine, molasses and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes.
While mixture is cooling, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
Stir in honey mixture until well combined.
Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a log.
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 or 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
Lightly coat a non-stick baking sheet (why if it's non-stick would one have to do this?) with cooking spray and set aside.
Lightly flour work surface.
Roll each log into a thin dough about 1/8" thick.
Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer to baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until firm.
Cool on wire cooling racks.
Makes 4 dozen.
