Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (255g) honey
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  3. Cream Butter and Sweeteners: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter, honey, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the large room temperature egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, beating on medium speed until the mixture is fluffy and fully combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two batches, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls approximately 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball down slightly and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for added flavor contrast.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the centers look soft but set, taking care not to overbake to maintain chewiness.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they firm up perfectly.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to ensure smooth mixing and creamy texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to prevent tough cookies.
  • Flaky sea salt topping adds a wonderful contrast to the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies ensuring even baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer freshness.
