Ingredients
- 360 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 230 g unsalted butter softened
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 120 ml (½ cup) honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer with a paddle attachment), combine the softened butter, sugar, honey, and salt. Beat on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Combine Wet and Dry: On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Scrape the bowl to ensure the dough is evenly mixed. Cover the dough and chill for 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Form Cookies: Scoop the dough into 1½-tablespoon-sized portions and roll each into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Using the palm of your hand, gently press each ball to flatten it into a disk or cookie shape. Try to make all the cookies a similar size to ensure even baking. Keep the remaining dough refrigerated between batches.
- Bake: Bake each sheet one at a time for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
