Ingredients

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup honey
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to chill and firm up.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball between your palms to form a smooth shape.

Step 8

Place the powdered sugar for coating in a shallow bowl. Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until generously coated.

Step 9

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. The cookies should be set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 11

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
