Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when your cookies are prepared.
- Prepare your baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until creamy and light in color. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the honey: Mix in the honey until fully incorporated.
- Incorporate the egg: Add the egg (or flaxseed egg) and mix until well blended.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
- Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle with sea salt: Lightly sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball for that salted finish.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden, and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool down: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
