Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough is formed. Do not overmix.
Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden but the centers look slightly underbaked. Remove the cookies from the oven—they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
