Cinnamon and Honey Cookies

3 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c toasted wheat germ
1 T ground cinnamon
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
3/4 c butter, softened
1 c sucanat
1/3 c honey
1/3 c milk

Mix flour, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.  In a large bowl, beat butter, sucanat, and honey with an electric mixer until well blended.  Add flour mixture in thirds alternately with milk, mixing to blend after each addition. Divide dough into thirds. Pat each portion to a flattened rectangle. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill one hour or until firm enough to roll.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.

Roll one third  of dough at a time between two sheets of wax paper into a rectangle slightly larger than 6 x 8 in. Remove top sheet and trim dough to a neat 8x6 in rectangle. Cut dough with cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.  Bake 10-12 min until tops feel firm when pressed. Cool on wire racks.
