For Honey Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F.
In small bowl combine flour, baking soda and baking powder; set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and honey until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients.
Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet 2 minutes before removing to cool on wire rack. Makes about 4 dozen cookies, depending on size.
For Peach ‘N Honey Frozen Yogurt: Puree the peaches in a blender. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups of pureed peaches). Add yogurt and honey to a bowl and combine the pureed peaches. Mix well.
Pour into a freezer bowl of an automatic frozen yogurt-ice cream maker. Turn the machine on and let mixture thicken, about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in cinnamon by hand.
For Assembly:Once the cookies have thoroughly cooled, place 1 ice cream scoop of frozen yogurt onto a cookie and gently press a second cookie on top. Use a knife to trim the sides of excess yogurt. Repeat with remaining cookies and frozen yogurt.
Eat immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze up to 2 weeks.
