Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, honey, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the finely chopped rosemary until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

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