Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 0.25 cups (59 ml) unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp golden brown sugar
- 3 tbsp cane sugar
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) honey
- 1 egg yolk
- 0.75 cups (177 ml) sifted all purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixing bowl until a soft paste forms, then add the egg yolk.
- Pour in the honey and mix well.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until the dough is uniform.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare two baking sheets for double panning (or one baking sheet, reducing baking time by 2-4 minutes) and line the top sheet with parchment paper.
- Form 1-tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough.
- Place dough balls onto the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake for 12 minutes (using double panning).
- Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring them to a cooling rack with a spatula.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark honey instead of golden honey.
- Chill the dough thoroughly for optimal texture; longer chilling times result in crispier cookies.
- If the dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional flour, one tablespoon at a time.
