Ingredients for Honey Cookies

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup honey
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

How to Make Honey Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup honey until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
