Description
A comforting cookie recipe with a warm honey and brown sugar flavor, topped with flaky salt for a delightful sweet-salty balance.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- Fleur de Sel, for sprinkling the tops of cookies
Instructions
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the room temperature butter, oil, light brown sugar, and honey. Mix until smooth and consistent.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, stirring on low speed until glossy and even.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Scrape the bowl and fold in any remaining dry ingredients, making sure the dough is thick and cohesive.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and portion out 3 tablespoon-sized rounds of dough, placing them on the sheet.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for about 1 ½ hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them appropriately.
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges are set and just beginning to brown.
- Immediately sprinkle with Fleur de Sel and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For chewier cookies, underbake by a minute. Use mild, floral honey for a gentler flavor.
