Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams honey
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the honey and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly press down each ball with the back of a fork or your fingers to slightly flatten them. This will help them spread evenly while baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake them to maintain their soft texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
