Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (227g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- ½ cup honey (120ml)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, honey, and salt. Beat together on medium speed until creamy and well combined, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined. Stop and scrape down the bowl as needed.
- While mixing on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture until just combined. Scrape down the bowl to make sure the dough is well-mixed. Cover the dough and chill for 1 to 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Working in batches, scoop the dough into 1½-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on one of the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Refrigerate the remaining dough while waiting to bake.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
- It’s best to use room temperature eggs so they mix easily into your cookie dough. If you had forgotten to take your eggs out of the fridge ahead of time, place them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. This method will help to bring them to room temperature quickly.
- Just like the eggs, butter should be room temperature as well. Place your butter on your kitchen counter for 1 to 2 hours to bring it to room temperature. The time needed may vary depending on your kitchen’s temperature. Alternatively, cube the butter for the butter to come to room temperature faster.
- I highly recommend using a triggered cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough. A cookie scoop ensures that all the cookies are the same size and bake evenly.
- It is essential to avoid adding too much flour to the batter, which is a common mistake. Using a scale is the easiest and most precise method to measure flour accurately. If you don’t have one, fluff the flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off. It’s important to avoid packing the flour into the measuring cup.
- To achieve a fluffy and soft cookie, it’s important to cream the butter, honey, and sugar thoroughly.
- Careful not to overbake these honey cookies, as they’ll continue to firm up as they cool and become dry and crumbly if they’re already firm when you take them out of the oven.
- Keep the dough chilled while waiting to bake. These cookies spread a bit in the oven already, and the warmer the dough, the more they will spread.
