3 cups Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder

Cream the margarine, honey, sugar and eggs together in a bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Divide the dough into thirds. Flatten each one into a circle 1/2 inch thick. Wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight until firm.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick.
Cut out the dough with a star cookie cutter and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake in a 375° F. oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
