Honey Cookies
Soft, golden honey cookies with a delicate crumble and a hint of warm sweetness are the perfect treat for any occasion. With just 20 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of baking, these cookies come together effortlessly, offering a heavenly aroma that fills your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg room temperature preferred
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 cup coarse granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars, honey, and vanilla extract and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well-combined.
- Add egg and stir well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- With mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to butter/honey mixture. Stir until completely combined and all of the flour mixture has been absorbed (scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well-combined).
- Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes and up to 5 days.
- Once dough has nearly finished chilling, preheat your oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (alternatively you can bake cookies directly on an ungreased cookie sheet).
- Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and scoop by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops. Roll into a smooth ball between your palms and then roll through coarse granulated sugar.
- Place cookies at least 2” apart on prepared baking sheet and transfer to 375F (190C) oven. Bake for 10-11 minutes or until edges of cookies are beginning to turn a light golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool for at least 5-10 minutes on baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
