2 c. butter, softened

2 1/4 c. sugar

4 Lg. eggs, lightly beaten

1 c. milk

7 3/4 c. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. lemon flavor

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1 Tbl. honey

Icing:

4 1/2 c. powdered sugar

4 Tbl. corn syrup

3 Tbl. milk

1/4 tsp. lemon flavor

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and then milk. Stir in remaining ingredients. Dough will be soft and sticky. Place dough on a well floured surface. Knead in just enough flour to make dough workable. Dough will be very soft. It is best to knead with a rolling pin motion so you have a smooth surface and you will not get cracks on top of your cookies. Gently roll out to 3/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes (mine took 13) or until edges barely start to change colors. Cool.

For the icing: mix together all ingredients until smooth. Dip cookies in icing and hold upside down to allow excess to drip off. Let harden.
