It's a brownie sandwich cookie, very good with cream cheese mint filling. I know the honey makes it a soft cookie, and I don't think it would alter the flavor to use syrup. But would it work?
I don't want to use my last bits of raw honey if I don't have too.

(36,827 posts)Honey has some specific properties which enhance baked goods. If you have some brown sugar, I would substitute 4 Tbs of brown sugar and 1 Tbs of water for the honey. It may not turn out as good.

(29,098 posts)The honey probably adds a complexity that may be lacking with the substitute but I'm sure it will be fine. Also I have frequently substituted honey with agave with success.
