Jeanelle followed a recipe from Cooking LSL (link).
Medenki are Bulgarian Honey Cookies. The flavors of this cookie come from cinnamon, honey, and the chocolate coatings.
These cookies are more cake like in texture and make lots of crumbs with each bite. You’ll love these if you like scones!
How Do You Make Medenki?
Medenki is easily made like most other cookies: mix wet ingredients, add dry ingredients, chill, then bake! The added step of melting chocolate and coating the cookies is a must!
Full list of ingredients and detailed steps are at the end of this page

Recipe
Medenki (Bulgarian Honey Cookies)
Ingredients
Method
- I recommend using a stand mixer for this recipe but it is optional.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and powdered sugar. When they are well combined, add the vanilla extract and honey. Mix this until combined and finally add the oil. If you're using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachement.
- In a separate bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl that holds the wet ingredients and mix until it become a dough.
- Next shape your cookies and place on a dish that will go in to the refrigerator. I used a cookie scooper and placed on a small baking tray lined with plastic wrap.
- Chill the shaped dough for at least 30 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Then place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Be sure to give them space so they don't touch each other while baking
- Bake in the 350℉ oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
- While the cookies are baking, make the chocolate dips by melting each chocolate separately with a tablespoon of oil each. Use medium-low heat so you don't burn or boil the chocolate.
- When the cookies are done baking remove from the oven and let them cool.
- Dip each cookie in a chocolate melt before the chocolate hardens
- Place the cookies on a wire rack with something underneath to catch the dripping chocolate
- Once the chocolate hardens, enjoy!
