I’m talking soft and chewy, honey-sweetened, cinnamon-y, vanilla bean flavors and coated in sugary goodness. Imagine your favorite sugar cookie, and then imagine it tasting 10 times better than anything you’ve ever had. Insert these honey cookies. The honey, cinnamon and vanilla bean paste combination is an irresistible trio that makes these cookies extremely addicting. If you’ve had my Chai Cookies or Cinnamon Roll Cookies you know how much I love a good sugar cookie base. And unlike most of my cookie recipes, these cookies are more on the thin and chewy side, rather than huge and cake-y. If you’re into that, then perfect. I’m glad you’re here! If you love the thick, big, ooey-gooey cookies I have tons of them on my site for you to explore too! ?
Honey: I’ve tested these cookies out with both clover honey and wildflower honey and love the flavors of both. Be sure to use a good quality honey. Butter: Just like all of my other cookie recipes, I use cold, unsalted butter. Cornstarch: I love adding cornstarch to make chewy cookies! Eggs: you’ll need 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. Use room temperature eggs to create a lighter, fluffier cookie. Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar: Using a combination of both gives a good structure and enough moisture. All-Purpose Flour: Use the spoon and level method to measure the flour properly. 1 cup is ~125 grams if using a scale. Vanilla Bean Paste: I love using vanilla bean paste because it not only adds the classic vanilla flavor we love but also the visually appealing vanilla bean specks throughout the cookies! If you don’t have any vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract works well, sub 1:1 ratio. Other ingredients needed: cake flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder.
