Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- 1 cup honey Choose lightly flavored honey for a milder taste.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adjust spices according to your preferences.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey until well combined and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-honey mixture. Beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until everything comes together to form a soft dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about one inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork or your fingers to create a round cookie shape.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn a golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a fun twist, try sandwiching them with your favorite filling or drizzling extra honey on top for added sweetness. Experiment with different spices and add-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
