Honey Cinnamon Snowflakes are a delightful treat, perfect for the holiday season or any time you crave a delicious, sweet-spiced cookie. These cookies combine the richness of butter with the warm, aromatic flavors of cinnamon and the natural sweetness of honey to create a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Whether you're an experienced baker or a beginner, this recipe is straightforward and yields beautifully festive results.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add the egg, honey, and cinnamon to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the bowl, mixing on low speed until the dough starts to come together. You may need to use a spatula or your hands to ensure all the flour is fully incorporated.
Divide the dough into two portions and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle and roll out.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out one portion of the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness. Keep the other portion in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Use snowflake-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the dough. Place the snowflake cutouts on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional cookies. Repeat until all dough is used up. You can continue working with the second dough portion as well.
Once the cookies are completely cool, they are ready to be served. Enjoy your delicious honey cinnamon snowflakes with a warm cup of tea or milk!
Once your Honey Cinnamon Snowflakes have cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed. The combination of buttery richness, spicy cinnamon, and sweet honey creates a cookie that is both comforting and indulgent. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, they also make an excellent gift for friends and family during the holiday season. Happy baking!
Honey cinnamon snowflakes FAQ:
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
The cookies are done when the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. They may look slightly soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
You can substitute the butter with margarine or a dairy-free alternative, and honey can be replaced with agave syrup for a vegan option. However, the flavor and texture may vary slightly.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months.
Use snowflake-shaped cookie cutters that are about 2-3 inches in diameter for best results. Adjust the baking time slightly if your cookies are significantly larger or smaller.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before you begin mixing; this will make it easier to cream with the sugar and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and help the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
- Use a light dusting of flour on your rolling pin and surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- If you don’t have a snowflake cookie cutter, you can use any shape you like, but keep the thickness consistent to ensure even baking.
- Keep a close eye on the cookies while they bake; they should be lightly golden around the edges and soft in the center.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and prevents breakage.
