“‘I generally have a small something about now . . . ’ and [Pooh] looked wistfully at the
cupboard in the corner of Owl’s parlour; ‘just a mouthful of condensed milk or whatnot, with
perhaps a lick of honey.’”
—Winnie-the-Pooh

A Winnie-the-Pooh menu would not be complete without a tribute to Pooh’s favorite snack:
honey! These delicate butter cookies are a sweet conclusion to a Hundred Acre feast.
