Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 ml honey
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
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 small balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Gently press each dough ball slightly to flatten it, as the cookies will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies plain or garnish with a light drizzle of additional honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
