Honey Cinnamon Butter Cookies

These festive December 2016 cookies were baked as a gift. I had run out of all-purpose or pastry flour so I had to fall back on self-rising flour. I hunted around the internet, and came across this recipe.

For fun, I rolled these into coarse sugar so they would have a bit of a crunchy sparkle.
