Chocolate Honey Cookies

Hanoi is crazy. It’s been 10 days since I moved, so I’m still very new and I guess it’s normal I feel this way, but seriously. Crazy. I rented out a motorbike 2 days ago, so I can finally ride around by myself, although I’m a bit afraid of doing so. Nobody out on the road here seems to care about any laws, which makes learning how to belong in the traffic even harder. But I taught a few more classes, and I went to another party yesterday. I guess I’m starting to belong. One of my biggest concerns is the lack of the oven of course (that party I went to yesterday? My friends have an amazing one, so I spent a better part of an hour falling in love with their oven). I still have some saved recipes though, so today I’d like to share a recipe for THE BEST chocolate-honey cookies to ever exist.  

I’m being serious, they are amazing. Just looking at the pictures makes me miss them so much. I’ve made them before I left Poland, when my best friend was staying with me. I think they lasted like 2 hours, and it’s only because we went out to get more beer when they were cooling. Otherwise they would be gone in 20 minutes.

They are very chocolately, very soft, and honey takes them to another level. I played around with the original recipe and ended up with one of my favorites. Try for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
