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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the honey and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
