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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough is formed. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
