Let's dive into the recipe and learn how to make these delicious honey cookies from scratch.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add the honey and beat until well incorporated. Next, add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until everything is well combined.
Sprinkle in the cinnamon and then gradually add the all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
