Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, and egg to the butter mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Fold in the chopped nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
