Notes. There are several variations but I think this is the one you are looking for:

FOR HONEY-LEMON COOKIES:
Use directions above, except substitute honey for molasses and regular sugar for brown sugar. Use 1 tsp. lemon extract in place of spices.

I got this over the phone from my mom. =)

I'm going to try it too. I've been serching for a honey sugar cookie recipe. But I think I'm going to use vanilla instead of lemon extract.
