These honey cookies have the perfect amount of honey flavor, are super soft, chewy and really easy to make!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste
Rolling
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar to roll cookies in prior to baking
Instructions
- Whisk together the All-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter, sugars and honey using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium speed until light and fluffy, ~3-4 minutes.
- Add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla bean paste until incorporated.
- Add in dry ingredients, gradually until ingredients are incorporated. (Do not over mix).
- Chill cookie dough in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours (or longer, such as overnight). This is important to help the cookies from spreading and to look soft and pillowy like the cookies in the photos! ?
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Scoop ~2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into balls. Will make ~20 small cookies.
- Roll in granulated sugar in a shallow dish until coated.
- Place on prepared baking sheet & bake cookies for ~8-10 minutes. Ovens vary.
- Let cookies cool for ~10 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. They are very soft and pillowy when they first come out of the oven! Enjoy!
Notes
- cake flour
- You don't want to add in too many spices or mix-ins to these cookies since it may distract from the honey flavor. BUT maybe adding in walnuts, chocolate chips, or additional spices like nutmeg or cardamom would be a lovely touch!
- You can make these cookies gluten free by replacing both the All-Purpose flour and cake flour with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
- Make sure to cream the butter, honey and sugars really well. The fluffier your butter and sugar mixture is, the fluffier and softer your cookie will be.
- Make sure not to over bake the cookies! You want to make sure that they stay ooey gooey and soft in the center. The cookies will keep cooking a little bit once you pull them out of the oven and let them cool, so it’s best to bake them for only 8-10 minutes.
- Use 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract if you don't have vanilla bean paste.
