Equipment

  • stand mixer or hand mixer
  • baking sheets
  • parchment paper
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Small pastry brush

Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter Softened to room temperature.
  • ¾ cup honey Use raw or local honey if we have it!
  • 1 large egg Room temperature.
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Glaze

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon melted butter Unsalted.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat our oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and honey together until it looks light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • While the cookies bake, whisk together the honey, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a small bowl for the glaze.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack. While they are still warm, use a brush to slather the glaze over the tops.

Notes

If we don't eat them all today, keep them in an airtight container on the counter. The honey keeps them soft for about a week! Adam prefers them slightly underbaked for a doughy texture.
