Simple Honey Cookies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Baking Essentials
01 -
1/2 tsp baking powder
02 -
175 g (6.1 oz, 1.4 cups) all-purpose flour
03 -
2 tsp vanilla powder or vanilla extract
04 -
90 g (3.1 oz, ½ cup) white sugar
05 -
3 tbsp honey or 2 tbsp golden syrup (for a rich flavor)
06 -
100 g (3.5 oz) butter, softened
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 180°C (356°F) so it's ready to bake when the cookies are prepared.
02 -
Take the softened butter and sugar and mix them well in a bowl until they’re fluffy and well-blended. This will give the cookies their buttery base.
03 -
Add the rest: toss in the flour, baking powder, vanilla, and honey (or golden syrup for a more caramel-like touch). Blend everything together until you have a smooth dough that holds its shape.
04 -
Split the dough into three pieces. Use your hands to roll each piece into a cylinder. They don’t need to be perfect, just smooth and even.
05 -
Line a baking tray with non-stick paper and place the dough rolls on it. Make sure to leave lots of space between them as the dough spreads while cooking.
06 -
Slightly flatten the dough rolls with your fingertips, then bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until they’re lightly golden.
07 -
Don’t wait for the cookies to cool! While they’re still warm and soft, carefully slice them diagonally into pieces. If you wait too long, they might crack.
08 -
Leave the sliced cookies on the tray to cool down completely before enjoying. Once cooled, they’ll have that ideal crispy yet slightly soft texture.
# Notes:
01 -
These honey-flavored cookies are buttery and have just a hint of caramel sweetness.
02 -
Want a more caramel taste? Use golden syrup instead of honey!
