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

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when your cookies are prepared.
  2. Prepare your baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the honey: Mix in the honey until fully incorporated.
  5. Incorporate the egg: Add the egg (or flaxseed egg) and mix until well blended.
  6. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt.
  7. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
  8. Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  9. Sprinkle with sea salt: Lightly sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball for that salted finish.
  10. 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.
  11. Cool down: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavors. Consider adding chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for added texture and flavor.
