Description

Cozy fall cookies with a blend of sweet honey and savory sea salt, perfect for tea or holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (170g) honey, plus extra for glazing
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Chill the dough briefly if desired.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine sea salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until just combined.
  6. Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 10–12 minutes.
  7. Brush the tops with warmed honey and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt right after removing from the oven.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
