Ingredients

1. ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2. ½ cup sugar
3. 2 tablespoons honey
4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5. 1 large egg yolk
6. 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
7. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
8. ¾ teaspoon salt
9. 2 tablespoons cold heavy whipping cream
10. 1 recipe Meringue Icing (recipe follows)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, honey, and vanilla. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer until creamy, approximately 4 minutes. Add egg yolk, mixing well. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour, thyme, and salt, stirring well. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at lowest speed until a dough forms.
3. Add cream, mixing well. Shape dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350°.
5. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ¼-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch diamond cutter, cut as many cookies as possible. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
7. Bake until edges are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on pan for 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Decorate with Meringue Icing, as desired, and let dry. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
