Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly puffed. The centers may look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets 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.
