Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the egg and beat until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Do not overbake, as these cookies are meant to be soft.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
