Honey Cookies

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl using a hand-held electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, honey, and brown sugar until it is very creamy, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the eggs, orange zest, and vanilla and beat just to incorporate.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat to combine well.

Step 4

Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Scoop (using a small cookie scoop) or spoon the dough, about 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the prepaerd baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between the cookies. You will have to bake the cookies in 3 batches.

Step 7

Bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies are nicely browned and set.

Step 8

Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
