How to Make Chewy Honey Lemon Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup honey using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 2 large eggs (or equivalent egg substitute) to the wet ingredients. Beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cookies cool, prepare the lemon glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over them.
