Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Cream: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This helps to incorporate air and creates a light texture.
  3. Beat: Beat in the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and uniform in texture.
  4. Whisk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  5. Mix: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms without overmixing to avoid tough cookies.
  6. Roll: Roll the dough into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter and place them spaced evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Flatten: Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with your hand to help them spread evenly during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. This ensures they firm up and are easier to handle before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh for up to a week.
  • Optional: Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking for added flavor.
